Help with furniture

For people on certain benefits there is help to obtaining recycled furniture.

The Furniture Re-use Network, supports over 300 re-use charities, aims to relieve poverty and reduce waste by promoting the re-use of essential household furniture and electrical appliances.

The Ladywood Project also provides a local service where furniture is recycled and provides for those on low incomes.

Credit Unions

Credit Unions are a great way to save and borrow money at much cheaper rates than doorstep lenders.
