Summer's On Its Way! Help Us Create Outdoor Spaces Our Residents Can Enjoy

The sunshine is finally making more regular appearances (well, some days at least!), and we're starting to think about how our residents can make the most of the warmer months ahead.

Having access to outdoor space isn't just a nice-to-have, it can make a genuine difference to mental wellbeing, especially for people who are rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness.

Why Outdoor Spaces Matter.

For many of our residents transitioning out of homelessness, having a place to sit outside, enjoy a cuppa in the sunshine, or just breathe some fresh air becomes an important part of establishing daily routines and finding moments of peace.

Outdoor spaces also create natural opportunities for residents to socialise and work with our support workers casually – whether that's over a summer BBQ or just chatting over morning coffee. These small interactions build community and combat the isolation that often comes with housing insecurity.

What We're Looking For.

As we prepare our properties for summer, including our brand new Hucknall home, we've realised we're seriously lacking in garden furniture.

Here's what would make a huge difference:

• Garden table and chair sets
• Outdoor sofas or comfortable seating
• Benches
• Parasols or sun shades
• Planters or pots for residents to grow plants
• Any decent quality outdoor furniture you no longer need

Giving Furniture a Second Life.

We're big believers in sustainability, so if you're upgrading your garden setup this year or having a clear-out, why not give your old furniture a second life with us? Items that might no longer suit your space could transform one of our gardens into a proper outdoor living area.

And don't worry about delivery – we're more than happy to collect items from you if you're in Nottinghamshire!

Get in Touch

If you have garden furniture to donate, please drop us a message through our contact form, send us a DM on social media, or email us at info@renehousecic.com

Your donation would make such a difference to our residents this summer, giving them the chance to fully enjoy their home, inside and out.

Thank you for considering supporting René House!
