Welcome to WantNot
Welcome to WantNot
At WantNot, we do not believe in wasted goods, we don’t believe in items becoming trashed when they can actually be of great use to someone else. We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) located in the North East, founded on a very basic concept that good furniture should never be sent to landfill and good people should never go without.
Why We Exist
In case you are shifting house or cleaning up someplace it is cumbersome to give off extra furniture. Scrap yards are expensive and charities usually say no. Stuff that can be used perfectly, finds its way into the landfill and another person goes without a bed, table and fridge nearby.
That is where WantNot comes to the rescue.
We are an organization that takes in preloved furniture and reuses them. What you no longer use might exactly be what somebody needs.
Who We Help
We help…
- Families in the North East furnish their homes affordably
- Local people in need get access to essentials without shame
- The planet by stopping reusable items from going to waste

Want to help?
You can donate funds, or volunteer, or just tell your friends about us. The more people believe in practical change the better.
We Believe In…
- Progress Over Perfection
- Purpose Before Profit
- Everyone Lifts Together
- No Fluff. Just Honest Work.
Our Vision
- The world in which good things are not wasted.
- Where financially strapped families find what they need without getting into debt.
- And where companies can be nice and get a living.
We are doing something that counts. And we are just half way there.
