Affordable household goods and employment for vulnerable people

Forest Upcycling Project

Misson Statement:

"At the Forest Upcycling Project our vision is to provide employment for vulnerable people and affordable household goods. We support this vision by selling and reusing donated items, training vulnerable people through work experience and accredited courses, and upcycling products by working with craftspeople willing to share their skills. We also offer gardening services, house moves, house clearances and refurbished bikes to provide additional employment opportunities."

“Proceeds made from the sales of furniture are used to keep the project going and to provide paid employment opportunities for people who need extra flexibility or support in the workplace. It also allows us to help vulnerable people with donations and provide volunteering opportunities on our sites.”
