What CSS does



CSS is a Sunderland-based charity helping vulnerable older people, disabled people and partner organisations with affordable furniture, practical handyperson support and clear routes into the services they need.


Our work is built around dignity, safety and independence, making good-quality furniture and trusted home support more accessible to local people and communities.

Supporting communities with practical help

- We aim to relieve poverty, in particular by supplying and renovating furniture and household goods to those in need in North East England.


- We are committed to the relief of elderly or disabled people by participating in any charitable schemes or services intended to benefit such people in need.


- Our organisation helps to protect and safeguard the environment for public benefit particularly through the promotion of re-use and recycling as a means of waste disposal and the provision of recycling activities.


Over the years, we have grown from a small, volunteer-led furniture store into a thriving charity committed to supporting vulnerable people. Through thoughtfully developed and continually evolving projects, we strive to create lasting stability and sustainability for some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
