Furniture to give away W4

I have only a few days to re home some perfectly good furniture. I had arranged for the William Wilberforce Trust to collect and recycle but they came yesterday and only took one piece as apparently "lots of bedroom furniture in stock at present" despite the fact they had a list two weeks ago of the furniture available...Anyhow, 3 x  double bed frames in good condition, (mattresses ok but don't have to go with frames if not required)  2 seater sofa, 1 x 3 drawer chest. IKEA type quality. Can email pictures. Would suit rental property or first timers who need a few extra pieces. (My first flat was fully furnished from beg, borrow, steal kindness...) Collection from Southfield Road area in the next few days. Advertised on Freecycle, just hoping to rescue from landfill.... British Heart Foundation didn't call me back - any ideas on charities that may have use of them gratefully received - I suppose its a sign of the West London wealth bubble how difficult it is to give stuff away!Please do get in touch if you or anyone you know can use these items...ThanksSarah

Hi Sarah, It may be too late- only just seen this message but if not, there are a few charities that collect. The London Reuse Network is a great place to find out (I work for a charity that has a project that collects furniture, and we're part of it, but they only collect in East London!) here are the places they list in Hounslow:Hounslow Furniture Recycling Project (Furniture, Electrical Appliances) (Hillingdon, Hounslow, Richmond)www.hounslowct.org.uk | enquiries@hounslowct.org.uk | 020 8814 2225 | TW3 1JYRichmond Furniture Scheme (Furniture) (Richmond)www.richmondfurniturescheme.co.uk | info@furniture.scheme@ukgateway.net | 020 8755 4665| TW2 5LSTrinity Homeless Project (Furniture, Electrical Appliances) (Ealing, Hounslow, Uxbridge) www.trinityhomelessprojects.org.uk/home.htm | info@trinityhp.org.uk | 020 8842 3984 Hayes or 01895 256 655 Uxbridge| UB8 1SZand the London Reuse Network website, to find out what you're covered with in your area is: http://www.londonreuse.org/our-network.aspxhope that helps. Alas, if it was a few months time, we could take some of it as we're hoping to move to the area- first flat and will need some furniture! but not moving just yet. Hope you find it a good home. There are lots of people who need things, despite West London being quite wealthy overall. Lots of pockets of poverty that we don't see so much! Alison
