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

Revive accepts furniture donations from the public, businesses and local authorities. Once fully established, these items will be upcycled, reducing landfill waste and contribution 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 March 2026.

We're currently looking to recruit Operatives.

Testimonials

What our partners say about Revive

"The Revive furniture upcycling hub is a brilliant example of community-led regeneration. By transforming a space in one of our most deprived areas, it not only reduces waste and gives new life to furniture but also creates local jobs, training opportunities, and pride in place. Revive is proof that sustainable enterprise can unlock potential and deliver lasting benefits for our community.”

Josh MacAlister OBE MP

Member of Parliament for Whitehaven and Workington

"The council and our third sector partners allocate substantial funds each year to support residents transitioning through the homelessness system or who are escaping domestic violence and setting up new homes. This is a costly endeavour, so having a facility like Revive, where individuals can access free or low-cost furniture, will make a significant difference.”

Julie Friend

Social Inclusion and Housing Team Leader

"The Revive programme will transform the old Focus Scaffolding building in Mirehouse into a vibrant community initiative dedicated to upcycling furniture and household items - something we are proud to help bring to life. As a local SME, working on projects that positively impact our community and wider area is always one of our top priorities. Revive improves local people’s skills, reduces social isolation, and addresses social, economic and health inequalities.”
