County Durham Furniture Help Scheme
The primary aim of CDFHS is to provide any individual in need with low-cost, affordable items – primarily furniture, but our scope has expanded in recent years to include all types of household items.
We collect, repair and redistribute items from the County Durham area which would otherwise go into landfill, while also making available thousands of items of furniture and household goods every year to people from the region. We are widely recognised for our positive environmental impact and helped save some 150 tonnes of items from entering the refuse system in the last year alone!
We, at CDFHS, have realised there is a massive need for white goods and so our White Goods Project has been set in place to take reusable white goods and perform a thorough inspection test and maintenance so that perfectly fine items can be reused by you, the community.
Our Computer Services department specialises in computer repairs and maintenance. Come to us for computer repairs for a very low cost or to buy a pre-built machine for your own personal needs.
The Green Move Out scheme is a partnership project involving Durham University, Durham County Council, Durham Constabulary and the County Durham Furniture Help Scheme (CDFHS). This arrangement benefits the city and its residents, by helping keep the streets clean and avoiding excessive build-up of waste, that perfectly re-usable goods don’t enter the waste chain, basically that these unwanted goods go to good use
