The Church Warehouse
We search social media for good quality used furniture that people are giving away for free. People can also donate furniture using the button on this webpage.
We send our passionate and hardworking volunteers to collect donated furniture.
In The Church Warehouse we can make some small repairs and clean the furniture.
Clients can self-refer through the button on this website to request furniture.
We then try to fulfil their furniture needs with what we have in The Church Warehouse.**
When delivering the furniture we ask for a small donation towards the running costs of the project. This is £15 for up to five items of furniture, and £30 for six or more items.
The Lincoln Community Larder
In order to provide the most appropriate help for your circumstances, we work with referral agencies who will discuss with you the cause of your crisis and offer practical guidance. These are frontline professionals, like doctors, health visitors, social workers, and Citizens Advice.

These professionals will be able to refer you to one of the local food banks if they feel you are struggling to put food on the table.
