Secondhand Furniture and
Household Items




Charities and social enterprises are a great source of free or low-cost secondhand furniture and household items.

They collect items donated by the general public and resell at low prices to raise money for other activities.  Items include:

  • Furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, sofas and other household items
  • Kitchen appliances such as fridges, washing machines and cookers
  • Toys, cots, prams and clothing.

Some also sell new goods at reduced prices for those on low incomes or benefits with the option of a repayment or credit union scheme.

There are also projects that distribute disability equipment such as riser recliner chairs and mobility aids.  

With your help we hope to create an awesome resource of organisations who distribute low cost household items.  This will help individuals, families and professionals who support anyone in need.

The map below shows the location these organisations in the UK that we are know about.
