Impact Furniture Services

Background

“IFS” was established in 1995 and has developed into a large recycling business providing training and employment in furniture recycling, bikes, computers and white goods.  IFS has recently obtained funding from the CRED Programme to help support the programme

Location

Our main sales outlet is in Carlisle, however we have two other outlets, one in Penrith and the other in Ulverston. All sites have good parking facilities.

Buying Goods

We sell good quality second hand furniture and household goods at reasonable prices. The furniture is for those in need, people referred to the project and also for retail customers. Our aim is to help people acquire affordable furnishing for their homes, thus enhancing their quality of life.  The warehouse opening hours can be found overleaf. All items can be  delivered by arrangement.

You can donate any household items that you no longer require. It can be anything that can be used to furnish a home such as three piece suites, beds and other furnishings, but it must be fire retardant. These items can be collected free of charge from the local area.  As well as helping people in need it benefits the environment by reusing household items that would otherwise go to landfill sites.

White Goods

We have developed an Electrical/White goods project in conjunction with Carlisle City   Council, and with our support they will collect electrical items as part of their bulky waste household collections in the Carlisle area. A special new van funded by DEFRA will bring the white goods back to CFS Carlisle, and we test/repair those that can be reused. The project has been set up in conjunction with the new government legislation WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) which is to prevent this type of waste going to landfill sites.
