Lighthouse Furniture Project are a non-profit, social enterprise and registered charity who collect these items and make small repairs where possible. The furniture and electrical goods collected are then provided to those on low incomes at significantly reduced prices, and in some instances for free, to support their charitable aims.
They work with a wide range of agencies and seek to help those who are struggling to help themselves. Over 40% of their turnover goes to supporting 'at risk' groups'.
Lighthouse can also offer a free of charge collection for certain furniture items as well.
