The Furniture Project is run by a team of committed staff and volunteers who are motivated by the desire to provide good quality re-usable household items to people and families in times of need. In meeting this need we are encouraged that our actions also help in the reduction of items going to landfill.
We rely on members of the public to donate household furniture, beds, electrical items, bedding, curtains, crockery, TV’s, fridges, freezers, washing machines, bric-a-brac, clothing, etc., providing that they are in a re-usable condition.
We will collect re-usable donated items free of charge, unlike many organisations and local authorities
The Furniture Project Nottinghamshire operates a referral service for subsidised furniture and household items for individuals and families facing hardship covering Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City and some parts of Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. All items have been donated to us and are pre-loved.
We have a large and constantly changing selection of used but good quality excess stock.
A small charge for delivery is made depending upon the distance from the project.
Lots of stock at our warehouse. Open until 4.30pm today...

👇🏻 We get asked this a lotWhy do reuse charities sell items that are donated to them? It's a question that we see a lot!
Reuse charities are a lifeline for many who are unable to furnish their homes, however, in order to be able to offer items for free, or at a low cost, the charity must raise vital funds to cover the costs that come with donating items for free or at low cost. Costs include staffing, rent, utility bills, fuel for vans, and so much more!
By selling items, the charity can raise much-needed money to help provide crucial services such as providing furniture and other essential items, in addition to running food banks, offering mental health support services, providing housing and so much more. Unfortunately, support for such services is decreasing, so charities must rely on raising these vital funds themselves.
The good news is that whether the item you donate is given away for free to someone in need, or sold in the charity's shop, your item is being reused, and is creating huge support for the charity at a time when they need it most.

Great to visit the @furniturenotts project in Ollerton recently to see firsthand the amazing work they're doing for the community 🪑
By relieving the impact of poverty, tackling furniture going to landfill and offering volunteering opportunities, the project is a shining example…
