A FURNITURE reuse and recycling charity is planning to extend its shop and warehouse opening hours.

Roundabout, situated at the Blackminster Business Park, near Evesham, currently opens from Monday to Thursday between 9am and 1pm.

It has now responded to public demand and will also open on a trial basis on the first Saturday of every month beginning on February 7 between 10amand 2pm.

Manager Peter Andrews said: "I have lost count of the number of occasions people have commented that Roundabout is never open at weekends.

"There is a serious aspect in making this decision, the primary objective of Roundabout is to redistribute donated furniture items to those persons in need across South Worcestershire, North Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas."

He said many people in very low paid employment who work during the week should have the opportunity to purchase low cost furniture items at the weekend and should not be discriminated against.

As an introduction a large selection of furniture items will be half their normal low price.

Anyone believing they qualify for a furniture referral or wishing to donate furniture items go to www.roundaboutevesham.org.uk for further information.
