Our objectives:
- To protect the environment through the diversion of waste away from landfill.
- To reduce the operating costs of charities.
- To create employment and training for marginalised people.
Since 2000 we have diverted more than 60,000 tonnes of redundant office furniture away from landfill.
We have redirected second hand office furniture to over 5,000 organisations including schools, charities and small businesses, saving them over £2.5m in the process.
|
We have made and facilitated donations of second hand office furniture to several deprived regions of the world.
We have created over 80 jobs for marginalized people (in contrast to the 2 jobs that would have been created if the furniture had gone to landfill).
