Glenrothes Furniture Reuse project

The Salvation Army in Glenrothes is hoping a new furniture project will boost its work with local young people – and help cut down on landfill.

The church and charity has opened a Furniture Reuse showroom on Bankhead Industrial Estate, specialising in furniture and other large items. Volunteers at the store, under the guidance of manager Laura Taylor (pictured above left with assistant manager Leanne Goddard), will also be on hand to offer a range of support to people referred for assistance.

Profits from the reuse project will enable The Salvation Army to supporting young people through a range of projects and activities at its church on Caskieberran Road.

We caught up with Daniel Rous, divisional charity shops operations manager, to find out how the project is going to benefit local people.
