Commenting on the charity’s need for furniture donations Sue Ryder’s Regional Manager, Anthony Barlow, said: “Updating your home furnishings and redecorating can be really exciting, but often, getting rid of the pieces you no longer want can be awkward and inconvenient. Whether they are small or large, donating your good quality items and booking Sue Ryder’s free furniture collection service couldn’t be easier.

“Not only can we stop decent, functional furniture from going to landfill; by giving it a new lease of life, we can turn these discarded pieces into funds to help support those dealing with grief or facing a terminal illness.”
