Declutter and Fight Homelessness: Free Furniture Collection from Shelter!
Looking to clear out some unwanted furniture? Shelter‘s Fishergate Shopping Centre store is here to help, offering a free furniture collection service – all while supporting a worthy cause!
Helping Hands for a Housing Crisis
Shelter tackles the critical issue of homelessness in the UK. Their house clearance service allows you to declutter your home free of charge (for partial clearances), with all proceeds from furniture sales going towards fighting the housing emergency. It’s a win-win situation – you get rid of unwanted items and contribute to a vital cause.
What They Can Collect (and Can’t)
Shelter welcomes a variety of good-quality second-hand items, including:
- Furniture and electrical goods (in good condition, with fire safety labels for upholstered furniture)
- Clothes
- Books
- CDs and DVDs
However, to ensure the service remains free and raises vital funds, they cannot accept certain items:
- Broken, damaged, or poor-condition items
- Items missing parts
- Items with rips, holes, stains, or odours
- Upholstered furniture without fire safety labels
- White goods (appliances)
Getting Your Furniture Collected
Before confirming a collection, Shelter will discuss the items with you to ensure they meet their criteria. Here’s how to arrange a pick-up:
- Call your local Shelter furniture shop: Find the contact number for the Fishergate Shopping Centre store and let them know your address and preferred service (full or partial clearance).
- Fill out an online form: Click on the provided link (here) for the local shop’s online collection request form. Shelter will contact you within two working days to discuss the details.
By decluttering with Shelter, you’re not just making space in your home, you’re helping to create a safe and secure future for those in need. So, give them a call and breathe new life into your unwanted furniture, all while supporting a fantastic cause!
