Part of the Futureworks NY Family.
The aim of Furniture Works is to provide a workshop and shop which contain the fruits of our labours. Our clients, who range in age from school age upwards, help restore and refurbish furniture and accessories along with help from expert staff.
Each piece that appears in our shop is lovingly transformed into a quality bespoke household item. You can pop into our shop in Thomas Street, Scarborough or browse or buy 24-7 on this website.
Practical skills and motivation
Furniture Works is very proud to sell the items that are created and transformed by our talented clients and staff. From school aged to school leavers to adults, both our venues help and support those seeking to improve their lives in the Scarborough area.
Our shop also enables Futureworks NY to offers personalised support and guidance to those looking to improve their lives. We work within our community, providing support and guidance and encouraging all ages to fulfil their potential through engagement, motivation and support.
Futureworks NY was established in 2012 and is a registered charity, number 1203922.
How it works
Our shop includes a wide range of items both instore and online which have been lovingly restored by clients of all ages. Most of our furniture is kindly donated by generous members of the public.
By providing a finished product that looks incredible, and that is ready for someone to buy, each item provides a fantastic project for each learner. Each restoration provides a great sense of purpose, transferable skills and increased confidence.
Functional & Stylish
We get many quality pieces of furniture donated to us thanks to the generosity of people in the area.
These items undergo close scrutiny by our workshop team, who decide if the items need repairing, sanding, stripping back, taking apart, painting, varnishing … our team is nothing if not thorough!
From ‘Unwanted’ to Forever Homes
A piece of furniture, whether it be a stool or a sideboard, has its own story to tell. Quality furnishings will stand the test of time, even if they’ve been damaged. Furniture Work’s team, both clients and staff, improve the items they work so they become bespoke, special and sometimes completely unrecognisable from their original state.
