WASTE NOT WANT NOT

Waste Not Want Not (WNWN) is a registered charity established in 2002 to collect surplus furniture and household goods still in good condition, to pass on at affordable prices to people on low income, using a workforce of predominantly volunteers. WNWNs aims are to: - Reduce the effect of poverty by offering a source of good quality furniture and household items at low cost. Replicate the customer experience given by a High Street retailer by ensuring the showroom stock is set out attractively. - Offer volunteering and work expereince to the local community enabling them to build confidence, life skills and for those that wish gain help with CV writing and interview preparation to move on to paid employment. - Help the environment by collecting free of charge surplus household items fit for reuse to divert usable goods away from the waste stream. For every sofa that is reused instead of being replaced by new its the equivalent of 4,479 trees taking in CO2
