Yes, another charity shop in Shepperton high street, but this one is different. Home from Home Reuse Service is a registered charity (Registration No. 1179824) which aims to reduce waste by reusing unwanted goods. They have taken the unit which was Top Tune by the Big Tree and you may have noticed an ever increasing range of furniture on show.
HfH has the vision that nothing goes to waste. In this day and age that is a welcome one. Many of us don’t have the money for new any longer. Many of us want to do our bit to keep perfectly serviceable goods out of landfill. And that is what the charity aims to do. They want to help the environment, at the same time as supporting local people by creating jobs, volunteer opportunities and access to afforda-ble goods.
All proceeds go towards collection of unwant-ed goods and helping those in need in the community. In 2019, our last year of full oper-ation before Covid, HfH collected over 40 tons of unwanted goods from the waste stream from their shop in Frimley, passed these on, at low cost, to be reused by local people.
Now that Covid restrictions are lifted, HfH are excited to be opening their brand new shop on Shepperton High Street. The new site will enable them to increase the volume of unwant-ed furniture and other goods that they can collect for reuse across the borough of Spelthorne.
Kim Crowter, HfH Manager, said ‘Do have a look through the window of the new Shepper-ton shop and if you spy something you like the look of do get in touch. More importantly we can arrange a collect of any items you no longer need during lockdown so please do get in touch and we will see how we can help. We’re also looking for volunteers for the new shop so do get in touch if you want to help.’
