We had an incredible time at Charities Seafront Sunday last week, and we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported us.

In 2025, our trainees developed new skills, built confidence, and took meaningful steps to

When someone donates a piece of furniture to us, it’s often the start of much more than a simple resale. Each item that comes through our doors plays a part in training, confidence‑building, and creating real opportunities for people in our community.

After careful refinishing, new upholstery and some expert repairs, the bench l
