The Trustees of  County Durham Furniture Help Scheme were delighted when Phil Wilson MP visited the Furniture Showroom and recycling operation units on Chilton Industrial Estate recently following a long standing invitation. The CDFHS is going from strength to strength and impressed Phil Wilson with a comprehensive tour of the facilities and operations hosted by Chris Palmer, Chairman of Trustees and Deputy Chairman, Ray Brown.
Amongst the items discussed was participation in wider schemes and partnerships to support hard pressed families across the region seeking help via the charity’s low cost furniture and domestic goods supply service.
It is hoped to attract more furniture, domestic goods, particularly electrical items as donations from the general public to enable CDFHS to support  the estimated 24,000 people a year using the Chilton base.
