Provost Jim Leishman praises new Salvation Army furniture project in Glenrothes

Councillor Jim Leishman, provost of Fife has today praised The Salvation Army new furniture project in Glenrothes for helping boost its youth work in the community.

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 and 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 support around 100 local young people through a range of projects and activities at its church on Caskieberran Road.

The Glenrothes furniture reuse project, at 5 Bankhead Avenue, is one of a range of Salvation Army charity shops and furniture projects across the east of Scotland that offer practical support to people in the area that they’re based.

Collection of unwanted but usable items is free of charge within the local area. To donate any items or find out more about the project, call Laura or Leanne on 01592 771577, email glenrothes.furniture@salvationarmy.org.uk or find them on Facebook at facebook.com/GSAFurniture.
