A national healthcare charity is asking Peterborough residents to donate their unwanted, good quality furniture.
Sue Ryder, which provides palliative care and bereavement support, is urging locals to consider contributing their second-hand furniture items to its store on Crowland Road.
The initiative aims to stop decent, functional furniture from landing in landfills while raising essential funds to support those facing the end of life or grieving the loss of a loved one.
Sue Ryder’s regional manager, Anthony Barlow, said: “Updating your home furnishings and redecorating can be really exciting, but often, getting rid of the pieces you no longer want can be awkward and inconvenient.
"Whether they are small or large, donating your good quality items and booking Sue Ryder’s free furniture collection service couldn’t be easier.
“Not only can we stop decent, functional furniture from going to landfill; by giving it a new lease of life, we can turn these discarded pieces into funds to help support those dealing with grief or facing a terminal illness.”
Donations can be dropped off or collected for ease.
