    Story

    We collect and sell furniture for Dr Kershaw's Hospice in Oldham and other local charities. We have raised over £50,000 to date.

    We were recently hit by thieves at our premises. We firstly had our sat nav stolen from our van, then somebody tried to break into our premises causing a few thousand pounds worth of damage. Luckily they were unsuccessful in gaining entry, I hate to think what damage they could have caused. Most recently (Oct 9th 2017) we had our van targetted again but this time the thieves stole our exhaust system and catalytic convertor, causing over £3000 worth of damage to the van. The van is currently in the garage and we have had to hire a van to keep up with our customer deliveries and collections. We have had to have a new CCTV system at our premises and improved security. All in all the last few weeks have cost us over £5,000. Now we cannot carry on for too much longer if we keep being knocked back down. We love what we do and so do our customers. Oldham is quite a poor town in parts and we are creating a service to those who cannot afford new furniture, and in the process raising money for the Hospice and other deserving charities.
