Furniture Stores
“May we carry gifts to the poor and, to the rich, words of gratitude.” Blessed Frederic Ozanam - the Society’s Founder |
Furniture projects are just one way in which the SVP provides practical help to those in need. The SVP runs 14 furniture projects across England and Wales, providing free furniture to disadvantaged individuals and families. During 2009/10, more than 833 collections and 753 deliveries were made to 4,963 individuals and families who would otherwise have gone without.
The furniture stores are always keen to receive donations of goods, funds and volunteer support. To find your nearest furniture store, see below:
