WIRE works by collecting items of unwanted furniture, free of charge, from any residence in the Wirral and making them available to everyone, but particularly those who find it difficult to secure furniture and white goods to help turn their houses, rooms or flats into real homes. A spokesperson said, “WIRE aims to help individuals and families across Wirral who are supported by agencies such as Social Services, local community groups, voluntary organizations and charities. Not only that, but there are lots of people in our communities who do not receive support and yet are still on low or fixed incomes. WIRE is here to help these people too, and using items of furniture that others don’t want anymore.”

The month of October has seen yet further progress with the purchase of a brand new vehicle part funded by Job Centre Plus and the Merseyside Social Enterprise Initiative. This will double the capacity of the not-for-profit organization to collect and distribute items which would otherwise simply go into local landfill sites.

WIRE is now very definitely established as a truly environmentally friendly alternative to disposal which enables Wirral residents to help their own community and protect their own environment. Every penny generated from the sales of furniture by the project goes toward building a sustainable future and promoting a recycling and re-use culture in Wirral.
