Howard Lake | 11 July 2005 | News
Registered charity and social enterprise Green-Works is offering low cost, used office furniture to charities, schools, community groups, hospitals and small businesses that need it, but could otherwise not afford it.
The recycling charity has recently opened The Community Warehouse in Paisley’s Greenhill Business Park to offer a wide variety of top name new products and refurbished office furniture, all at a fraction of the usual price.
The warehouse is an initiative between Kibble Education and Care Centre and charities In Kind Direct and Green-Works.

It takes to seven the total of warehouses that the organisation runs around the country.
Green-Works achieves its objectives by taking redundant office items from corporate companies and organisations that would otherwise be throwing it away. Companies donating their furniture include RBS, Unilever, Barclays, ODPM, Diageo, Lloyds of London, DTI and the British Library.
