End Furniture Poverty

Who we are

With over 30 years experience of tackling Furniture Poverty, in June 2015 FRC Group launched our campaign and social research arm, End Furniture Poverty, to raise awareness of the issue and to explore national solutions.

Our campaigns shine a light on the reality of living in Furniture Poverty and our research examines ways that people can be supported out of Furniture Poverty, providing practical solutions.

It is the single mother and child sharing a mattress on the floor, the family with no cooker who can only make hot food that requires hot water from a kettle, the family with no wardrobes or chests of drawers so clothes are stored in black bags on the floor, the family where there is no table for children to eat from or do their homework.

When there isn’t enough money for fuel or food, where does the money for furniture and appliances come from?

Who We Are

End Furniture Poverty is the campaigning and social research arm of FRC Group, a group of 100% not-for-profit charities. FRC Group has been providing furniture, both new and preloved, to people living in furniture poverty for over 30 years and reducing, and ultimately eradicating furniture poverty is FRC Group’s core mission.

What We Do

End Furniture Poverty was created in 2015 to raise awareness of the issue of furniture poverty; to improve our understanding of the consequences and the reality of living in furniture poverty; and to develop potential evidence-based solutions to ensure that everyone has access to the essential furniture items that they need to lead a secure life.
