I am very pleased with the service they have provided. I bought three items that were essential to me. If I couldn’t access this service I would be without furniture in my home for a very long time. They were invaluable and considerate towards me and my needs. Thank you

Not Sure Whether Your Furniture Can Be Donated?
If you’re unsure whether your item is suitable, feel free to contact us with a photo — we’re always happy to help you determine whether it can be reused or if it would need to be disposed of as bulky waste. If it does need to be disposed of as bulky waste, then please visit the Stockport council website.
What does a fire safety label look like?
Fire Safety Label
If you are donating upholstered furniture, there must be a fire label firmly attached or sewn into each item you donate. By law, we cannot sell upholstered furniture in stores without a fire label, and our van drivers will reject the items without them. Where you might find a label underneath cushions, underneath items of furniture, sewn into cushion covers or on mattresses and bed bases.
Where we are based
We are based in the centre of Stockport and work with people within the area of Stockport to help support customers and families who are in need of furniture. The map below shows the locations of our donation warehouses. You can also contact us and arrange a free pickup.
