Second chance

If you're looking to find a new home for your unwanted items such as furniture, you can donate them to a local charitable or not-for-profit making organisation.

These items will find a new lease of life with someone who really needs them and avoid ending up in landfill.

These organisations will collect your items from your home free of charge.
