Simply Refurnish
A huge amount of perfectly good furniture goes to landfill every year. Refurnish’s goal is to save these valuable resources from becoming waste.
Based in Doncaster, Refurnish opened for business in 2003. We began in a small way with limited resources and only a handful of dedicated employees and volunteers. One success led to another and since that time we have grown into a unique and vibrant social enterprise operating from several locations in and around
the Doncaster district. At Refurnish, we firmly believe in and promote the ethos of recycling and environmentally sustainable living. Through our recycling process we are actively achieving this aim by being able to sell perfectly functional furniture (which would have been scrapped) to local people at affordable prices.
People have always been at the heart of our business. Many of the people employed at Refurnish are from disadvantaged backgrounds, have special needs or were facing long-term unemployment.
As a socially responsible enterprise, we are also committed to promoting the development of individuals from across our district who may be presently encountering difficulties within their lives. As such, we offer numerous volunteering, training and work placement opportunities.
At Refurnish, we enable people to fulfil their potential by providing a supportive and friendly working and training environment. In this environment confidence, skills and experience can be developed. To reflect our commitment and achievement to this goal, Refurnish is the proud recipient of the Doncaster Employer of the Year Award (2010)
