How to Help
Donate goods.
We’ll take any good quality homewares, from sofas and beds to electrical essentials like fridges and televisions as well as smaller items including crockery and utensils. Our volunteers will collect your items free of charge and we house them in our storage facility ready to be matched with clients through our social services partners. Email info@designingfutures.org to register your items and arrange collection.
Donate funds
Our charity is run by volunteers but we need to cover transport and fuel costs to collect furniture donations, as well as paying for our storage facility to keep items safe until they are delivered to newly-housed people. Monetary donations also mean we can help people in dire need of the basic essentials
Donate time.
Your time is as valuable as furniture and fundraising at Designing Futures. We can only carry out our services with the help of volunteers. We can adapt our volunteer opportunities to suit your needs - whether it’s a one-off day when you have some free time, a regular monthly slot, or even a team-building day for you and your colleagues designing futures and building strong bonds in the process.
