It was a drier morning than forecast, thankfully, as we were outside for this month’s trip to RFS.

Some very persistent weeds we’ve previously had dealings with had got too big for their boots again so we shuffled into battle armed with only one pair of secateurs and our own brute strength. What we couldn’t pull, we chopped, and what we couldn’t chop, we delicately disentangled while remarking how fiddly it all was.

We left the car park looking a lot less neglected than we found it and will hopefully have more hands on deck next time we return to RFS on 15 June.

Welcome to Richmond Furniture Scheme. Your local furniture recycling charity based in Twickenham, where you can find good value for money and quality second-hand furniture! Richmond Furniture Scheme is a small charitable organisation set up to help people in need by collecting donated furniture in good condition from the Richmond borough area and reusing it. A small charge is made to those people that are referred. But to ensure that all donated furniture is reused, and to help make the Scheme more self-sufficient, the Scheme is open to sell furniture to all people residing in the Richmond Borough.
