A Radcliffe shop is asking customers to bring in pre-loved homeware as part of a scheme to support people and families. 

Dunelm has joined up with community groups across the North West to redistribute pre-loved homeware items during the costof living crisis.  

Customers are encouraged to bring good condition, second-hand homeware into the Green Street store to be re-distributed back into the community.

The store will be working with Stepping Stone, which provides accommodation and support to care leavers, and people who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes.

Dunelm Radcliffe store manager Jayne Slack said: “We're proud to be supporting Stepping Stone and providing our customers with an easy solution to help put their preloved homewares to good use.  

“We know it’s a challenging time for many right now, so we want to do what we can to support community initiatives that make a real difference.” 

The Home to Home scheme was developed with environmental charity, Hubbub, as part of Dunelm's commitment to reduce the amount of household waste. 

Stepping Stone social value coordinator Claire Massey said: “Stepping Stone Projects (SSP) is excited to participate in the Home to Home initiative.

"This will provide an opportunity for SSP customers to access small household items for free that they may not be able to consider purchasing on their limited budgets.  

"Not only will this initiative enable our customers to make their house a home, but it will also have a positive impact on the environment and reduce the number of items unnecessarily going to landfill.” 

The Home to Home scheme is currently being rolled out across the North West, with each of the 18 Dunelm stores in the region supporting different local charities and community causes. 

Pre-loved homeware items including kitchenware and home décor like clocks, vases, throws, curtains, cushions and small storage items can be taken to the Radcliffe store.
