Link to Hope Launches Campaign to Promote Furniture Sustainability

Link to Hope Launches Campaign to Promote Furniture Sustainability

Charity Provides Free Furniture Collection Service to Reduce Landfill Waste and Support Humanitarian Efforts in Eastern Europe.

Link to Hope is announcing the launch of its latest initiative dedicated to promoting sustainability through a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, social justice, and social responsibility. In response to the growing concern over the volume of furniture discarded in landfills—over 42% of pre- loved furniture in the UK ends up in landfills—the charity emphasises the crucial importance of sustainability, particularly regarding furniture.

Environmental studies indicate that discarded furniture significantly contributes to landfill waste, posing environmental hazards and contributing to pollution. By reusing furniture, we can conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimise waste sent to landfills.

Lisa Hector, General Manager of Link to Hope, states, "Through our free furniture collection service and retail shops, we aim to facilitate the donation of preloved furniture. This effort enables us to sell these items to new owners, contributing to a circular economy with reduced waste and resource reuse, while raising funds to transform lives in Eastern Europe."

Link to Hope encourages residents to utilise the free furniture collection service by scheduling a pickup at their convenience. All types of furniture in saleable condition, including sofas, dining tables, and desks, are accepted. It is essential to note that any furniture with padding must have an attached fire label.

Beyond promoting environmental sustainability, proceeds from recycled furniture will support Link to Hope's mission of rebuilding lives and communities in Eastern Europe. This includes educational and social care initiatives, with a particular focus on humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

For more information and to schedule a furniture collection, please visit www.linktohope.co.uk or contact us at 01903 529333, retails shops in Ferring, Worthing, Goring, Rustington, Littlehampton.

Let us collaborate to make a meaningful impact—donate your preloved furniture today.
