Who We Are

Set up in May 2016, Orange Box North East  is very much a community led business, which identifies and responds to the issues of local people.  Those issues identified include:

• FURNITURE POVERTY  and the lack of affordable, quality furniture and household items for those on low income.  Reducing the numbers purchasing essential household items through long term, high interest loans
• Excessive amounts of household items being sent to landfill
• High rates of long term unemployment, poor uptake of quality volunteering opportunities, and high levels of social exclusion within the community

As a social business with strong ethical values we aim to tackle these issues through:

• Free furniture collection service for all those unwanted items
• Provision of low cost household furniture items to individuals and families on low income;
• Up-skilling of vulnerable adults, making them more job-ready and employable;
• Reduced amounts of waste going to landfill
• Economic growth to the area

​As a Community Interest Company, we operate on a not-for-profit basis.  This means that all income is fed straight back into the business, whether this be for helping  with running costs and/or creating employment within our Company.

​Locally based, and locally managed, we ensure ALL of our services, resources and finances remain in the North East!  Having recently expanded into Northumberland Orange Box can now also be found in Alnwick, as well as our Byker, Newcastle site!

We offer FREE FURNITURE COLLECTION on all household items - from single pieces to full house clearances.
