Barnet Furniture Centre (BFC) is a re-use centre and registered charity that brings multiple benefits to the community and environment. The main aims of the centre are to help families on low income to furnish their homes and to divert furniture away from landfill.

BFC operates a voucher scheme with local housing authorities. This allows clients who are referred over to the Centre the opportunity to purchase household furniture, appliance, electricals and bric-a-brac for their new home. Some of the clients we help may have been previously homeless, placed in an emergency or temporary accommodation, seeking refuge in the UK or just on a low income. 

Without BFC operating in Barnet, A staggering 850+ tonnes would have ended up in land-fill. The charity has a huge impact on the local environment; essentially we have saved over 1200, 3 bedroom houses contents' ending up in the skip! 

For anyone receiving benefits from their local council; if you bring proof of this along with you to the Centre; you will receive a discount on the already low-cost furniture items.
