The London Plan scopes out how London will develop over coming years. Please have a look at it, don't feel overwhelmed, comment as it requests you do and also let BHORA know what you think. This is our opportunity to tell the Mayor what we want.

Barnet Furniture Centre - Reuse/Recycling Charity

‘A treasure trove ... highly recommended’ comment from local resident.
Have you some furniture in reasonable condition that you no longer want? We can collect. Are you looking for good quality affordable items for a room or flat? Or perhaps you’re after a one-off piece of ‘Upcycling’ – our team recently won a category award at the London Upcycling Show.
Come and visit us at 4, Queens Parade Close, N11 3FY (Tel 0208-361-6802) or look at our latest stock here: http://www.facebook.com/barnetfurniturecentre.
Barnet Furniture Centre (BFC – Charity No 1140541) opened in 2011. Since then we’ve recycled over 650 tons of furniture and household items which might otherwise have ended up dumped in landfill, and made some 8,500 local collections.
‘Over 650 tons’ doesn’t mean much; but imagine a continuous terrace of three-bedroom houses on both sides of the road, from Southgate Green, down Waterfall Road, along Friern Barnet/Woodhouse Road to Tally Ho Corner; then imagine all the contents from all those houses, and you’ll get some idea.
We offer two-tier prices, the lower price being for those on benefits. We also operate a voucher scheme for needy tenants of local housing services. So far we’ve helped around 5,000 needy people and families. There’s a small professional management team, but we rely greatly on our wonderful volunteers, many from local ‘Help-to-Work’ schemes. Since 2011 several of these have progressed to part-time or even full-time jobs at BFC or elsewhere.
If you have skills in carpentry, upholstery, painting, design etc, or can commit a few hours in preparation such as sanding etc, you might be interested in finding out about our Upcycling team. If you can offer a few hours helping in admin, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re immensely proud of our record to date, and look forward to your joining our many existing customers from many other parts of South and West Enfield.
