Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the prevention or relief of poverty','the advancement of education','the advancement of citizenship or community development','the advancement of environmental protection or improvement'

We are a community based social enterprise serving the people of Midlothian. In order to conserve the environment and to reduce landfill waste, we set up a furniture and white goods recycling project many years ago. We collect, refurbish and redistribute household goods within the local community. All profits from this go to help sustain our project and employ local people.

Objectives: To relieve poverty, particularly among those living in and/or around Midlothian ('the Operating Area') by providing people who are in a state of poverty with free or low cost furniture, white goods, appliances and/or other items To promote the voluntary sector and the efficiency and effectiveness of charities (particularly those operating in the Operating Area) and in particular through: (i) the provision of portable appliance tests and/or other services (ii) the supply of vehicles on hire and/or the provision of transport geared to the needs of such organisations To advance education through the establishment of a learning centre within the Operating Area and by furthering the education and training of those resident in the Operating Area (which may include the provision of work experience) with particular emphasis on those who are unemployed and/or newly entering or re-entering the jobs market. To advance environmental protection and improvement, and in particular through reducing (through the operation of recycling and other schemes) the volume of furniture, white goods, electrical appliances and/or other items that could otherwise form part of the waste stream and thus increase the proliferation of landfill sites.
