Salvage Row...

A couple of weeks ago in Scunthorpe I happened across a shop called 'Salvage Row'.
At first I thought that this was a very swanky upcycled furniture shop, but then realised that it was offering a great service to the community.
Salvage Row is a non- profit making, social enterprise shop that offers support, training and help for vulnerable young people in Scunthorpe and the North Lincs.
Training in furniture restoration, sales and social media is offered to the volunteers, and what fantastic results!
I was so tempted by this old tool chest!
Aargh! Selfie alert!
I think that this is such a wonderful idea and such a great opportunity for the next generation.
And I definitely know where I'll be going when I need some furniture...

    Love this place. Well done for bringing it to a wider audience. I hope they get plenty of support as it's a great idea and I love social enterprises in the real sense of the word. The furniture and set-up is superb.
    Many thanks

    What a great find must trip over the Humber bridge to visit it, thanks for the heads up. Yes such a positive enterprise too to aid the more vulnerable.

Would you like to make a comment chuck?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, just a minute and I'll put the kettle on.
Custard cream or bourbon?
