hardship Scheme in South Wales
Homemakers Hardship Scheme was formed in 2010 to help support people who have been left in a crisis situation or left homeless with no means to help furnish a home. We raise funds to help support giving away free furniture to those individuals and families. We also require funding to cover the cost of storage, loss of income through sales, delivery costs, volunteer and staff costs. Homemakers is only able to help when funding is available.
