Who we are

Our social mission is to reduce and ultimately end furniture poverty, so we campaign to raise awareness of furniture poverty, and create practical solutions to get furniture to people who need it. We work to also create sustainable employment and better futures for people.

Our Objectives are to:

• Understand and highlight the reality of living in ‘furniture poverty’.
• Lobby and campaign for the eradication of ‘furniture poverty’.
• Develop and run successful social businesses that tackle furniture poverty.
• Train and develop people out of poverty and into sustainable, well paid jobs and careers.
• Use our core skills to develop and run successful and sustainable commercial businesses Buckingham Interiors and FRC Living, using the profits to create social value across FRC Group.

We are a friendly bunch of people, therefore if you’d like to put some faces to names you can visit our Board and Team pages. We work closely as a team and the people at FRC are truly what make us who we are. We have created over 430 jobs since 2013 and continue to operate as a truly social business, offering training and development opportunities to those most in need as well as developing our own teams through formal and informal training. We measure our success through annual reporting, which records and reports on both financial and social value impact we have had as an organisation in achieving our aim to End Furniture Poverty.
