Furnishing the Future
Ascham
Homes are pleased to announce that our 'Furnishing the Future'
scheme was runner up in The Guardian 2011 - Under the category of
'Sustainability'.
Under the 'Furnishing the Future' scheme, launched by the
council and Ascham Homes, paint and furniture from house clearances
are recycled, restored and resold instead of going to landfill. The
money this saves goes towards funding for more tenants to
redecorate their homes. Benefit claimants can also take workshops
in furniture restoration.
The Guardian's Public Sector awards set out to showcase
innovation and best practice across Whitehall, local government,
the NHS and beyond. Many remarkable projects have been honoured and
much invaluable learning has been disseminated. These awards run in
partnership with Hays and are for all organisations involved in
commissioning or delivering public services, whether they sit in
the public, private or voluntary sectors.
