The Ninja's European challenge!!🚴‍♀️🌍

Just over a week into an incredible journey across Europe, The Ninja is making fantastic progress in support of St Vincent's Furniture Project Sheffield.

Starting out in Italy, The Ninja has cycled over the Alps, through Austria, on to Munich, across Bavaria and has now reached Berlin. The adventure continues, with Sweden next on the route.

Despite the challenging terrain and long distances, The Ninja has now raised more than £2,000 to help St Vincent's Furniture Project continue providing essential furniture and household items to individuals and families in need across Sheffield.

Every donation helps us transform empty properties into homes, support people moving on from crisis situations, and ensure that good-quality furniture is reused rather than wasted.

If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing the fundraiser with friends, family and colleagues. Your support helps us reach more people and continue making a difference across Sheffield.

We'd like to thank everyone who has donated so far and, of course, The Ninja for taking on this amazing challenge in support of our work.

💙 Safe travels, Ninja, and good luck on the next stage of the journey! 🚴‍♀️🌍

Making a difference to change the lives of some of the most vulnerable people our city

St Vincent's furniture store is a Community Support Project of the St Vincent de Paul Society (England & Wales) that has been operating in the Sheffield area since 1987. We collect, then redistribute recycled furniture and household items to people who are disadvantaged due to poverty, deprivation and circumstance in our community.

The health and safety of our customers and staff is paramount. Our two-man delivery teams have been trained to make collections and deliveries safely with the recommended personal protective equipment and hand sanitiser. Where possible we will collect from your doorstep or from a room of choice. In order to protect the safety of our van crews and admin team, we are unable to collect items from a household which has a member with Covid-19 symptoms, is self-isolating or has tested positive within the last 14 days.

We are making collections of furniture and household hold items.
