Good quality furniture, at very little cost.
We supply donated, good quality furniture and domestic appliances to people who, for whatever reason, can’t ordinarily afford them. We keep prices as cheap as we can so that no-one needs to be without their household essentials.
Come and have a look around
Anyone is welcome to come and see what donations we’ve received recently. You don’t need a referral or to be on a low income to take advantage of our prices.
- Our warehouse is open Monday–Thursday, 9.30am–4pm
- Furniture, white goods, electricals and housewares
- We can’t reserve items over the phone or by email, so pop in
Our aim has always been to provide good quality furniture to people who need it. Unfortunately we are unable to provide furniture without cost, or offer any form of payment instalments.
Can’t cover the cost? Help may be available from Under One Roof
Lancashire County Council’s Essential Household Goods Support Scheme (run under the name Under One Roof) is a non-statutory service that supports residents who need help to maintain or establish a home. It provides free essential household items to individuals and families who don’t have sufficient income or funds to meet their immediate needs, plus help and advice in seeking additional support.
To get an award for essential household items, applicants must:
- be aged 16 or over
- live within the administrative boundary of Lancashire County Council
- have no income or be on a low income, such as means-tested benefits
- be in a priority group
- not have access to sufficient funds to meet their immediate needs or those of their dependents
- need essential household items to help maintain or establish a home
We don’t take applications or assess suitability – this is always done by Under One Roof. See the Burnley and Pendle referral agencies.
Help turn four walls into a home
Our purpose is to provide people in Burnley and Pendle with the things that start to turn their four walls into a home. We’d love to accept every offer, but we can only take essential items. Please check below before you call us.
Things we can take
Used furniture or appliances that are suitable and ready to pick up:
- Dining & living room furniture
- Bedroom furniture
- Electronics & small appliances
- White goods
- Housewares & kitchen items
Things we can’t take
For safety reasons, and for the dignity of our clients:
- Gas appliances (e.g. cookers, heaters)
- Tube (old-style, non-flatscreen) TVs
- Stained mattresses
- Soft furnishings without a fire safety label
- Ripped, damaged or unsaleable furniture
We’ll ask you three questions
Is it in good condition?
Items need to be in good, usable condition – free from stains, tears, odours or major damage. We’d love our clients to be able to have pride in their home.
Is it free-standing and assembled?
Most of our clients are moving into smaller homes, and many don’t own tools. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to move in and get back to normal.
Is it something our families need?
Space is limited, so we have to ask whether it’s something our clients need to create a welcoming home.
Ready to donate? Give us a call and describe your item and its condition. Please remember all soft furnishings must have the fire safety label attached.
