About Furnistore
Furnistore is a registered charity based in Redhill, and we’ve been part of East Surrey life since 1995. Our mission is straightforward: find good homes for good furniture, and make sure the people who need it most can access it.
What We Do
Every week, our iconic green van collects donated furniture, appliances, soft furnishings and household goods from homes across East Surrey — free of charge. Volunteers sort, clean and repair everything before it goes back out into the world.
Items we collect go to three places, in this order:
Families in crisis receive them free. Whether someone is leaving a refuge, moving into their first home, or starting over after a difficult time — we make sure they don’t have to do it without the basics.
Anyone on means-tested benefits gets 50% off essential furniture and household items.
Everyone else finds quality furniture at prices that are genuinely hard to beat — and knows their purchase is funding the charity.
Why It Matters
Furniture poverty is more common than most people realise. Beds, tables, sofas — the things that make a house liveable — are out of reach for thousands of families in financial hardship. At the same time, millions of tonnes of perfectly usable furniture goes to landfill every year.
We fix both problems at once.
Every item we rehome is one less thing wasted, and one more family with what they need. That’s not a compromise — it’s the whole point.
Thirty Years of Real Impact
Furnistore has been doing this since 1995 — long before “circular economy” became a buzzword. We know the families we’ve helped, the volunteers who’ve gone on to careers after time with us, and the tonnes of furniture that never made it to a skip.
We’re proud of that history. Since 1995:
people helped with free furniture

Furnistore is run by a small team of staff and a dedicated board of trustees, supported every day by our volunteers — the people who truly make it work.

We collect unwanted furniture and household goods free of charge, and sell quality second-hand furniture at affordable prices from our warehouse in Redhill. As a registered charity (number 1117615), every purchase directly supports families in need and keeps good furniture out of landfill.
