What we provide
A donation programme to support charities and community organisations by providing access to high-quality office furniture at significantly discounted process or even free of charge.
We believe in the power of second chances – for both furniture and people. By refurbishing used office furniture, we give these items a new lease of life, ensuring that they remain useful and out of landfills. This not only supports environmental sustainability but also offers businesses an economical alternative.
Your collaboration with Assets4Change goes beyond business. It’s a commitment to positive change. With every project, you’re directly contributing to the betterment of lives and the preservation of our environment.
Sectors we’ve worked in
Case Studies
Assets4Change working in partnership with Wagstaff and the Amber Foundation.
As part of a recent large building move and clearance in Reading, we donated 37 chairs to the Amber Foundation at their Dorking site.
“Many thanks to Assets4Change for your donation of furniture. The 37 chairs will be make a really big difference to the young people we support who have faced homelessness. It will enable all the young people and staff to sit and eat together for mealtimes – thank you.”
Young people who have experienced childhood trauma, or escaped domestic violence, too often become homeless. Sleeping on sofas or in hostels, they struggle to find work with devastating effect on their self-confidence and mental health. It’s a vicious spiral that’s hard to break. That’s where Amber comes in. They provide a temporary home and a programme of support that helps young people transform their lives for good. 88% move on from Amber into independent housing, with a job or back into education.
“At Farm Place, Amber’s centre in Surrey, we currently have 32 young people who have faced homelessness. They each take it in turns to cook lunch for around 40 people, clean and maintain communal areas, gain qualifications and experience for future employment, volunteer locally and take part in workshops such as budgetary management, healthy relationships, self-confidence and tenancy agreements. A young person typically stays with us for 6-9 months and then move forward into independent housing and either into work, education or left having achieved a major goal such as a Level 2 qualification. With your valuable support of recent furniture donations, which comprised red wooden chairs which we have placed in the newly refurbished art room and wooden dining chairs, placed in the dining room”
“We were in desperate need for these chairs, sadly the old dining chairs we had were no longer fit for purpose and you came to our rescue!” – Louise

Royal Alexandra and Albert School
"We would like to extend our thanks to Assets 4 Change for their generous donation of desk chairs. In the state education sector, where resources are often limited, such contributions significantly enhance the quality of the working environment for colleagues. With schools always prioritising students' needs first, improvements to staff spaces can sometimes take a backseat - yet a comfortable workspace is invaluable. This contribution makes a big difference, helping our team work more comfortably. We appreciate your support and the positive impact it has on our school community."
