Additional Information
HFS is the local independent furniture & electrical reuse charity that has been fighting furniture poverty in Hastings & Rother since 1988.
Our Vision - We believe every person should have a bed to sleep on, a cooker to prepare basic meals with and the essential furniture to create a comfortable, safe home.
What we do
We currently have 2 large stores in Hastings and Rother that sell quality re-used furniture and electrical items. Households on low income get a 50% discount ensuring that these items are affordable for all.
We run volunteer employment programmes which provide practical opportunities for local people to gain skills, experience and confidence to enable them to further their careers.
We are also proud to be part of the circular economy and we aim to be at the forefront in tackling climate change across the region; to inspire and energise our community to reduce C02e emissions and be part of the solution for Net Zero
