Out & About Summer 2021

After a cold and wet spring, the team at the Community Furniture Project shop in Bone Lane is looking forward to helping customers enjoy some better weather over the summer. The shop is a great place to find pre-used items for outdoor living, such as garden tables and chairs, picnic baskets, cool bags and picnic ware. Their book section also stocks a selection of second-hand cookery books with tempting ideas for summer food and BBQs. If you’re looking to get fit after months of lockdown, the shop also sells refurbished bicycles for adults and children. Donated bikes are repaired in the bicycle repair workshop, which is part of the organisation’s Training and Community Support Centre (TCS), based in the same building. TCS provides volunteering and training opportunities for disabled and disadvantaged adults and young people in a wide range of practical skills, with the bike workshop being a popular choice for many. Proceeds from sales in the Community Furniture Project shop help to support TCS’s training services, so when you donate to or buy from the charity, you can be sure that you’re supporting a worthwhile local cause.
