RECAP – Who do we help?

As a community based non-profit organisation we help the community in several ways:

• We help families and individuals in need by providing furniture at little or no costs in a bid to reduce hardship. If you have a furniture need RECAP will be happy to help, pop in and see our extensive range of low cost, recycled, previously owned furniture at our warehouse in Tannoch Drive, Lenziemill, Cumbernauld, G67 2XX.
• If you are suffering from serious financial hardship ask your tenancy support officer or social worker to formally refer you to RECAP for a special discount on furniture.
• We help local residents by collecting unwanted furniture from them at no charge and reusing it, preventing it from going to landfill. Please see How to Donate for further information.

We help by providing employment and volunteering opportunities to the communities we serve.
