FURNISTORE IN EAST SURREY LIMITED

Collects and distributes pre-owned furniture and appliances to low income households setting up home, or sells them on at affordable prices to raise funds. Thereby reduces volume of bulky waste going to landfill; also supports volunteers, including those wanting to get back to work.

Analysis by Giving is Great
