We’re excited to announce a new partnership with HW Martin Waste Ltd who run the waste and recycling centres across Derbyshire. They’re putting together kitchen starter packs and small pieces of furniture for people we work with and delivering them directly to people as they move into their new homes. Many of the people we work with move into their new houses with nothing and having some basic items to cook with, a chair to sit on, a coffee table to put your drink on or a bedside table can make a huge difference to people settling into and their new house and it starting to feel like a home.
Many of the items which are taken to the centres are in good condition and being able to reuse them for someone who’s moving into a new home with nothing is much better than them ending up in landfill. Their re-use shop at the Bolsover site can accept goods such as small pieces of furniture or kitchen items such as crockery, pots, pans and cutlery and these items can be purchased by local residents or donated to people who are moving out of homelessness.
We’re very excited to be working with HW Martin Waste and ensuring the people we work with get the best start possible in their new homes but also because of the environmental impact that reusing these items has.
