Phoenix is a registered charity governed by a Constitution and is a non-profit making organisation. We are based in Newtown and Llandrindod Wells and run with the help of volunteers. Phoenix collects donated furniture, household effects and electrical items from the public. Once in our warehouse they are cleaned, sorted, repaired and where necessary tested by qualified staff before passing on to people living in the Montgomeryshire area. We operate through a referral system and anyone who is on benefit or on low income can either obtain a referral form through one of our agencies, or they can come and see us and upon proof of benefit we can do a self-referral. They can choose the items they need and arrange delivery. We do not sell furniture but a small charge is made for each item which helps to cover costs. All deliveries are free of charge. Phoenix gives work training opportunities to a wide range of people, including young people on New Deal, those with Mental Health problems or Special Needs, anyone on any form of State Benefit and the general public. Training is accredited to the open college network which provides useful qualifications in the world of work.
