A Fulwood-based furniture charity has received a large donation towards its running costs 🛋️
Gift 92, which donates furniture to local residents in need, received £1,500 from Lancashire-based housebuilder David Wilson Homes.
By supplying the essential furniture and household items needed to create a home, the support is given without clients needing to incur debt.Peter Metcalf, Chair at Gift 92, said: “During the 12 months to 30 September 2022, we supplied furniture on 667 occasions, often providing the household items required to turn an empty property into a home. We helped 1,635 persons, including many young families with children, avoid significant debt in the process.
“The charity works in a unique way gifting furniture donated by the public who donate these items knowing they will be reused. Gift 92 helps those in real need to build a stable home and we welcome any donations people may be able to give.”The charity worked throughout the pandemic to continue providing a service to the public as a source of furniture when the vast majority of shops were closed. For doing so, the charity and its staff were commended by the Mayor of Preston.
