Team
We have a small core team of employees who are supported by many volunteers from the local community. We would not be able to run without our team of dedicated volunteers.

Joe Pisco
Driver
As well as keeping our mobile operations running, Joe has a passion for fixing and refurbishing furniture that we well at the scheme. If you visit us, you will often see his work in the warehouse – you’ll need to hurry though, as it often sells fast.

Robert Whitmarsh
Assistant Driver
Robert (or Rob 1 as he is sometimes called as we seem to have a number of Roberts at the Scheme), is our garden planter expert. Rob’s pieces are popular with customers and are a great use for old, unwanted, bed slats.
