REFURNISH DEVON

Refurnish collects unwanted reusable household goods throughout Devon, Plymouth & Torbay to reduce the amount of goods going to waste & help alleviate poverty by providing them at low cost to local people. Electrical goods are professionally tested/repaired. We create employment, training and volunteering opportunities particularly for people who are long term unemployed and/or have support needs.
