Vital Regeneration successfully tamed the dragons at the Delivering 4 Community conference and secured an Adventure Capital Fund Business Development Grant.

This moves us closer to achieving the goal of setting up a Furniture Reuse, Recycling and Training Enterprise in North Westminster. The enterprise is based on a proven business model designed to provide low cost furniture to people in need.  It has the added benefit of diverting valuable resources from landfill and, crucially, providing training and volunteering opportunities for local people.

This is a great way of reducing waste, saving precious resources and eases the burden on our landfills while providing local people with necessary household items. 

Jeannette Buckley, Chairperson of the Lisson Green Tenants and Residents Association in Church Street spoke for local residents.  "It is great news,” she said. “The environment is a huge priority for the community. Residents are working hard to protect and improve their environment and have run a number of environmental projects through Vital Regeneration. We are looking forward to the challenge of setting up a social enterprise which will greatly benefit the residents on the estate."
