South Shropshire Furniture Scheme, a registered charity - and social enterprise, started in 1994 in response to a need expressed by our community. We collect donated furniture and household items to deliver to people on low incomes living in South Shropshire. To assist our sustainability we have diversified considerably to deliver a range of training particularly aimed at the disadvantaged, but open to all, in accessible premises.
