Now

We achieve this by increasing public accessibility to quality household essentials, greener waste management techniques and investment in local community projects. We want to lead social change and are driven to improve the quality of life for people in our local communities. We truly care about the environment and consciously take action in ways to shape local green habits through recycling, reuse and repair. Our mission began back in 1995 as a volunteer-run milk float peddling the streets of Lewes collected and redistributed unwanted furniture and electrical household items to local residents most in need. Shortly after, Furniture Now! was formed as an independent non-profit. Furniture Now! is Now!’s oldest and most recognised service. consists of retail stores that the general public are able to visit. These stores are located in Lewes, Eastbourne and Hailsham, all supplying a range of new and second-hand furniture, electrical appliances and homeware items. replenishes inventory via a core network of suppliers and a free household collection service conducted across Sussex, 5 days a week. works with local partners who include Southern Housing Group, East Sussex County Council, Sussex NHS Foundation Trust and East Sussex Citizens Advice. Our Sustainable Communities Fund launched in early 2022. It supports community based projects that are based in East Sussex which uses repair, reuse, recycling or upcycling activities. The grants range from £500 up to £5,000. These have been created to redistribute annual profits generate by our Furniture Now! retail stores back into the local community in East Sussex. is an associate of the Reuse Network and represents the UK as a member of the Reuse and Recycling European Social Enterprise group.
