Charities across Liverpool city region can apply to receive free furniture from a city centre hotel.
Liverpool’s waterfront Pullman Hotel, part of the arena and convention centre complex, is set to undergo major refurbishment and has said it will donate more than 1,500 free items of unwanted furniture to charities.
Working with main contractor on the project, Wirral facilities management firm Kimpton, the Pullman says surplus furniture such as beds, mattresses, chairs and light fittings are all available for use by the local community.
Stephen Rycroft, general manager of the Pullman Hotel, said: “If you run a charitable organisation in Liverpool city region – Wirral, Sefton, Halton, St Helens, Knowsley or Liverpool – that could benefit from items of furniture such as beds, bedside tables, desks or sofas – we want to hear from you.
“We will do all we can to consider and support every application wherever possible.”
To enquire about furniture donations, charitable organisations are asked to contact Matt Breakwell, director of sales and ESG at we*****@********co.uk

“The Pullman is a fantastic venue and there are plenty of high quality items for charities to reuse and share among their communities.”
