Community Furniture Store is a charitable organisation dedicated to enhancing homes, supporting communities, and protecting the environment through sustainable furniture reuse. We operate three stores across York, Selby, and Scarborough, offering high-quality pre-owned furniture and new electrical appliances at affordable prices. Our mission extends beyond retail, as we actively reduce waste by collecting and redistributing reusable household goods. We provide essential support to individuals in need through concession pricing for benefit recipients, pensioners, and students. Our commitment to community development includes offering volunteering and work experience opportunities to those facing employment barriers.By collaborating with local authorities and non-profit partners, we amplify our impact on social and environmental wellbeing. All stores provide free collection services and low-cost delivery, ensuring accessibility for all customers. Through our training programmes, we help long-term unemployed individuals build skills and confidence to re-enter the workforce. Our 2023-2024 Impact Report demonstrates our tangible contributions to both community welfare and sustainability. As a registered charity, we remain focused on creating positive change through practical, inclusive initiatives.
