Established in 1994, The Furniture Helpline was set up to support low-income families in North East Hampshire, Waverley in Surrey and West Sussex by redistributing previously owned, good condition furniture and electrical appliances at affordable prices.

When you next want to upgrade your furniture or electrical appliances, The Furniture Helpline will collect your unwanted, good condition stuff, recondition and safely test it, and then offer it for sale at really low prices. We'll sell to anyone who wants to buy, and for those on income support, there are even lower prices because they're the reason the Helpline exists.

Last year The Furniture Helpline supported in excess of 2000 people by reusing over 4,000 items including 800 beds, 160 cookers, 168 washing machines and substantial amounts of other furniture and household goods.

We also provide training for the long term unemployed together with removal and house clearance services for our core clients.

A registered charity, The Furniture Helpline doesn't aim to make a financial profit, but cover our costs and make enough money to be able to keep going. So it's easy to see why The Furniture Helpline is always on the lookout for Volunteers without whom none of our services would be possible. If you can help in our warehouse, deliver or collect goods, answer the phones or help with our fund raising efforts, we'd love to hear from you.
