Alleviating Poverty in Bedford
Club members please log in for more information.
The ReUse Centre is both a registered Charity and a Social Enterprise.
Based in the centre of Bedford, we support people and communities throughout the county of Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas.
As a Charity, we support people in need or hardship by supplying low-price re-usable goods and materials. We have no central funding so we have to rely on sales income and contributions from our members and customers for the products and services we provide.
Our main focus is the supply of re-usable furniture and domestic appliances, everything from chairs, tables and lounge suites to beds, wardrobes, washing machines and cookers. We also stock a range of affordable new beds, white goods and flat-pack furniture to meet an increasing demand from our customers.
Since January 2018 we have been operating the Bedford Community Larder, #FeedBedford. Each week this "fresh food bank" feeds more than 200 local families and keeps over 1,000kg of food away from landfill.
Help us to continue helping those suffering poverty.
