their tenancies. The Services key aims are:· To relieve the poverty of the most marginalized sections
of society through the Re-use of essential household furniture. · To provide an attractive alternative to perfectly good furniture which

and white goods such as electric cookers, washing machines, fridges, etc.We are a non profit making organisation and registered charity within Scotland.
The charity a was established in 1992, initially supporting families in the Castlemilk area but has since grown and relocated
to our new base at Broomloan Road in Ibrox. Our Furniture Re-use Service is funded through the Increase Programme and our own fundraising. We are a primary
member of the newly formed Glasgow Furniture Initiative which aims to see a significant in crease in the quantity of furniture
being diverted from landfill and being made available for re-use to our target client groups.
