The Surrey Reuse Network is made up of a group of local charities that collect donated good quality furniture and kitchen appliances and sell them at affordable prices. Their primary objectives are to:

• help the disadvantaged in the community to turn houses into homes;
• offer volunteering opportunities, particularly to long term unemployed and those with learning difficulties and mental health problems, that help them gain confidence and experience as a basis of self-reliance;
• offer training opportunities in skills including warehouse management, furniture and electrical goods repair and refurbishment and woodwork that act as a springboard to paid employment;
• divert household items that are too good to be thrown away from landfill.

In 2011/12 member organisations of the Surrey Reuse Network collectively:

• Diverted over 22,000 household items from landfill to reuse.
• Saved over £40,000 to Surrey taxpayers in landfill costs avoided.
• Offered over 100 volunteering opportunities.
• Enabled 10 people move to full time employment.

If you are thinking of giving your home a makeover without spending a fortune or hunting for treasure at bargain prices why not visit one of Surrey Reuse Network’s furniture showrooms.

If you have some spare time you might also like to volunteer to help with the day to day running of your local showroom. More details can be found here.
