TCL RE USE 

We prevent items going to landfill and in turn are able to provide furniture, white goods and household items to the general public and to those on a low income at significantly reduced prices. We also work with a wide variety of agencies to seek to help those who are struggling to help themselves. Part of this is providing free furniture to referred at risk families.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
