We often get asked by our business partners if we can make use of items they are getting rid of (such as furniture, catering equipment, IT, duvets and bedding, pot plants, Christmas decorations, etc) and, more often than not, we can find new homes for them. Sometimes it works the other way, and we get requests from community groups to see if we can source something they need. It’s a useful way to give new life to old items and to stop things ending up in landfill.

During the year, we also get involved in Croydon campaigns – anything from Food Banks to Christmas Appeals, Cold Weather Shelters, Toy Donations and our own Armed Forces Veterans Lunch.

It’s easy for businesses to join in with our community activities or for organisations to approach us for support. Keep a look out for our emails detailing what’s happening in Croydon. Or, if you have any items to donate, ideas to help the community or want to raise some money for a local charity, then please get in touch.
