Furniture Project Update (November 2009) |
|
We continue to be selective over the items we pick up, and have raised our delivery charge to £10, refusing many types of items that are slow sellers or impossible to deliver efficiently. It has become noticeable how hard it is to get basic items like beds. This owes much to existing retailers of new beds collecting old beds for recycling from their customers. If you know of anyone wanting to find a home for an old bed in good condition, point them in our direction!

Shop at the Furniture Project Ebay Outlet! |
|
 After an initial trial, we have launched our Furniture Project Ebay Outlet! Taking advantage of Missionfish, a partnership with Ebay's charitable outreach arm, we have set up a presence on Ebay that will allow us to sell items and have the seller fees refunded to us from Ebay. (Many other large charities already use this service, but the work involved in registering your charity and validating the details often puts off smaller charities like us.)
To see what we currently have for auction, please see the 'Furniture Project Ebay Outlet' item in the right hand column.

John Lewis Partnership Charity of the Year |
|
Every year each local store selects a Charity of the Year. We were delighted when our local store in High Wycombe selected the Society as their Charity of the Year for 2008. John Lewis have provided us with a considerable amount of support during the year. There has been practical help, for example painting our furniture warehouse, financial assistance, supplying food for distribution to those in need in the community, and donating equipment for office administration. The Society also received a cheque for £2000 raised by the John Lewis “Meet the Neighbours” event. This was handed over at a ceremony at the High Wycombe store on 3rd October. Pictured below are Clyde Perkins, Secretary to the Society on the left, and Tony Wheeler, Managing Director of the store on the right, with members of the team from John Lewis and the Society.

The quiz evening organised by Wycombe Independent Fundraisers, was a resounding success. The venue was cosy, the food superb and the questions testing!
The proceeds were £754 going to us, the High Wycombe Central Aid Society.
From all the Trustees, Staff, and importantly Clients, thanks to all for the magnificent donation which will be put to good use in our daily work.
