Household items

Community websites such as Freecycle and Freegle are a great way to get household items for free. Instead binning or trying to sell unwanted items, people give them away to their local community via Freecycle and Freegle.

You'll find useful items, such as sofas, tables and other large pieces of furniture, which are unsuitable for donating to charity shops.

Visit MoneySavingExpert for more details.

You may also have social media groups for your area where people share items they’re giving away.

Olio is an app that enables people to give away items to others in the local area, including furniture. Find out more about Olio.

If you're struggling to afford basic furniture or white goods, the organisation End Furniture Poverty has an extensive list of grants, schemes and advice on getting the items you need.

Also, if you have an urgent need for household applications and furniture, you can apply for help through Habinteg's tenant support fund.
