Follow Revive on

A grant-funded project dedicated to supporting the local community.

Once established, Revive will accept furniture donations from the public, businesses, and local authorities. These items will be upcycled, reducing landfill waste and contributing to a circular economy.

Revive will provide essential furniture packages and household goods at low or no cost, offering a lifeline to those in need.

Work is already underway, and the Revive hub will open its doors to the public in early 2026.

Empowering Through Skills and Job Creation

Beyond recycling, Revive supports personal and professional growth by offering training programmes and workshops focused on furniture repair, restoration, and upcycling.

These opportunities help develop valuable skills and create jobs within the community.

Our Mission: Positive Social Impact

At its core, Revive aims to:

Promote environmental consciousness.
Create jobs and foster skill development.
Engage and strengthen the community.
Provide affordable furniture solutions.
Support charitable initiatives and education.

Revive Furniture Recycling Facility isn’t just about furniture - it’s about creating a sustainable, supportive, and inclusive future for all.
