Company details

What does it do?

The South Shropshire Furniture Scheme helps as many as seven families and individuals each week. People donate furniture and household items that are suitable for reuse and our volunteers collect the items free of charge from anywhere in the South Shropshire District. These items are delivered to people on low income who are in desperate need of essential household items.

South Shropshire Furniture Scheme is currently using our basic listing service and so has a limited profile on the site.

If you would like to know more about this social business, please email us your request and we will forward it to the right person...hopefully we can persuade them to join us as well!
