Our Organisation

ReLove is a registered charity that rescues furniture and other goods at scale and distributes them directly to people relocating at a time of crisis, ensuring they have everything they need to furnish their new homes. We assist women impacted by domestic violence, people experiencing homelessness or coming out of incarceration, and people seeking asylum.

When people in crisis access social housing, they often have few possessions and limited capacity to furnish a new home. ReLove’s model is built around responding quickly when people get the keys to safe housing, giving them the dignity to choose their own furnishings, and all for free.

The ReLove “Free Store” warehouse is stocked with great quality preloved and excess furniture and household items from corporates, hotels and the community that would have otherwise ended up in landfill.

ReLove is also developing its “Shop for Good”, selling quality preloved designer furniture to corporates, designers and the community.
