About Us
West Coast Furniture Bank was originally formed by a small group of evangelical Christians attending South Beach Baptist Church in Saltcoats. We seek to help people in need with basic necessities for their homes. Our main work involves sourcing usable items that people are replacing, storing them, and then delivering them free of charge to others who cannot afford to purchase such items.A lot of our day-to-day work is done by unpaid volunteers, to whom we are greatly indebted, and we also receive a lot of practical assistance from North, East and South Ayrshire Councils, local Criminal Justice Services and others. Thank you all!
