FACTORY ROW

Since moving into their temporary hostel in Newton Road, Torquay, the staff and residents of Factory Row have enjoyed a high rate of success in getting a good number of the homeless into flats of their own.  However, these places are most often unfurnished.  Consequently, they are frequently in need of small furnishings such as single beds, bedding (including pillows and duvets), chairs, settees, tables, single wardrobes, curtains, towels, crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, cooking utensils, vacuum cleaners, TVs, chests of drawers, cleaning materials, etc.  And for the hostel, mugs and breakfast sized plates.  Offers of help with a van are always welcome.

If anyone feels able to help, you can contact me on 01803 554868 for larger items or for things you are uncertain about please contact Leyla or Bob at Factory Row on 01803 212234.

Many thanks for your continued support with donations of non-perishable items of food and toiletries.

On behalf of Factory Row.
