Our monthly Richmond Furniture Scheme visit saw six of us bravely venture further into the undergrowth.

After we had removed the sand bags which had been blocking RFS’s side passage the previous month, we got to grips with clearing the ivy, brambles and other debris, that included the odd squeaky dog toy.

Additionally there was rubbish from the RFS’s last social that had to be cleared up following a visit from a local fox in the night.

It was a rather hot and humid morning, but spurred on by the thought of carrot cake at the end, we galvanised ourselves into action, using tools such as saws and loppers.

After an hour of sawing and hacking, we finally removed the seemingly never -ending branches and moved them into a compost pile.

Although, we made a large dent in the work outstanding there, clearly another visit is required and next month we will be back with the aim of finishing the job!

Welcome to Richmond Furniture Scheme. Your local furniture recycling charity based in Twickenham, where you can find good value for money and quality second-hand furniture! Richmond Furniture Scheme is a small charitable organisation set up to help people in need by collecting donated furniture in good condition from the Richmond borough area and reusing it. A small charge is made to those people that are referred. But to ensure that all donated furniture is reused, and to help make the Scheme more self-sufficient, the Scheme is open to sell furniture to all people residing in the Richmond Borough.
