A One Stop Shop For Furnishing The Home
The aim of the Furniture Packages Service is to supply quality NEW Furniture
at affordable prices for support agencies and their service users. Working closely with Resettlement Agencies,
Support Organisations, Social Work Departments, Social Housing Providers, Landlords and Voluntary Organisations, the service
can be accessed as a one stop shop by referring service users/tennants to new two, and
in doing so saving themselves both time and money. Furniture Packages are ideal for anyone setting up a new home as they include
all the essential items of furniture, carpets and other floor coverings, curtains, soft furnishings, starter packs and where
necessary, home decoration.
Furniture Packages can be tailored to meet individual needs
and tastes by offering choice on furniture styles and colour schemes for major items e.g. suites, carpets.
Help With the Cost of the Package
Ever mindful of the social aims of Second Opportunities and the need to maximise disposable income,
new two
has a policy to price research all
furniture available within the showroom, aiming to ensure customers will be able to purchase cheaper than available elsewhere.
As service users are often marginalised or disadvantaged within society they may in turn qualify
for additional help, as detailed below, to cover the cost of their furniture requirements.
