Main aim is to help sustain local (mainly new) Tenancies where Tenants have nothing to sleep on and/or nothing to sit on by giving people beds, sofas and other furniture plus essential household items. We have a Luton van with tail lift for collecting donated items and delivering them to those in need of this help. Donated items not suitable for giving away (i.e. too big) are sold in our charity shop / reuse showroom.

Objectives: (i) To relieve poverty among the residents of the Central Scotland ('the Operating Area') and, in particular, by the provision of furniture, electrical equipment, household goods and/or other items to those in necessitous circumstances and the provision of advice and support to assist them in settling into new homes. (ii) To promote education in the field of recycling of household goods. (iii) To promote and preserve the natural environment for the benefit of the general public and in particular to assist in the adoption of practices which are directed towards reducing unnecessary depletion of natural resources and/or reducing the volume of non-recycled waste. (iv) To relieve unemployment among the residents of the Operating Area in such ways as may be thought fit, including assistance to find employment. (v) To promote training in skills of all kinds, particularly such skills as will assist residents of the Operating Area in obtaining paid employment. (vi) To promote, establish, operate and/or support other schemes and projects of a charitable nature for the benefit of the community within the Operating Area.
