Saturday 3rd September

This morning saw the official opening of Furninchurch in Skegness.

Furnichurch is a registered charity that started life in Mablethorpe in 2005. It’s main purpose is to collect unwanted furniture and distribute it to those in need. This is a role it performs very well and last year helped 1500 households with over 6000 pieces of furniture.

The new Skegness premises are at The Former Methodist Church, Roman Bank, Winthorpe and it’s official opening ceremony was performed by the Bishop of Grimsby.

Furnichurch work very closely with social services, housing support, family support, Sure Start and other community workers to help those in need. Most of the staff team is made up of willing volunteers but like most organisations more volunteers would be warmly received.

If you would like to help this fantastic project or would just like to know a little more pop down to see them between 10 and 2 on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday and I can guarantee you will be most welcome.

I wish Nigel and his team the very greatest of success and thank them for perfoming this valuable service for our community.
