GOFA stands for Good Old Furniture Available. We are a non-profit making charity that recycles unwanted household/garage items and distributes them into the wider community around West Cornwall.
Anyone on benefits, low income, people with mental health difficulties and the vulnerable.
GOFA helps people of all ages from 16+.
GOFA has links with Live West housing, YMCA, Konnect Cornwall, Women’s Aid Pz, Social Services, local NHS Hospitals and various community-based organisations that require our support.
GOFA seeks to invest in a person or a family and help bring a sense of worth into their lives by supporting them with GOOD quality items. This in-turn builds their self-esteem and promotes a positive impact not only to them but to those around them.
GOFA also helps the environment by reducing what is taken to landfill sites and educates people about recycling.
GOFA depends entirely on donations of good quality furniture and white goods from the public
GOFA accepts most everyday household items from saucepans and cutlery to white goods, furniture and beds. We can also collect most outdoor potted plants, garage machinery/tools as well as outdoor furniture.
