Eligibility
Am I eligible for furniture or white goods?
To obtain items from Keighley Furniture Project you must provide proof of current benefit, including pension. You need to show this every time you would like items. You are then able to choose what you require. Suggested donations are displayed on every item – please ask if you are unsure.
We offer a delivery service for a small charge or people may take the items themselves but this is at their own risk.
If you are eligible please come along and have a look – new furniture arrives several times a day!
We endeavour to work fairly. Our policy does not allow customers to save or reserve items which have not been paid for in full at the time. Records are kept as people can only obtain items for their own personal use and not for other people or to sell. Please take a minute to read our rules.
Electrical items are all Portable Appliance tested for safety and all appliances are checked to ensure that they are in working order. Gas cookers are checked by a registered gas safety engineer. All electrical and gas appliances should be installed by qualified electricians and gas engineers.
