How do we help?

We aim to provide a stock of good quality, second-hand furniture and household goods from the community's generous donations and make it available to local people in need. We will deliver the agreed items to their address within the Crawley area.

How good do things have to be?

We ask that all donated items are in a usable condition and have reasonable life left in them. We can do some cleaning, but very dirty or soiled items will not be accepted by us.
