Furnish reach another level

Furnish has installed a mezzanine floor in its main warehouse at 20 Mitre Way, London, W10, which means 450 square metres of extra furniture display space.

Staying Put Service's Community Furniture Store, has paid for the improvements with funding from the Change Up programme, which helps not-for-profit social enterprises that support families on low incomes or state benefits.

Furnish can now raise the number of donated furniture collections, increase its stock and therefore the number of clients it supplies with furniture.

With extra volunteers to help run the recycling initiative now on board, Project Manager Mark Hardy aims to see even more clients each week.

"Our new mezzanine floor will allow us to offer clients a greater choice of items, all under the same roof, and we can also increase our recycling capacity," Mark concludes.
