Help with donating furniture
I have donated in the past to BHF, but this time I have a dining suite with upholstered seat pads and no charity I have contacted will take it because the covers do not have current fire labels. I thought it would be easy to contact charities that refurbish or upgrade the items to then sell on, but still no luck. I don't…
