KFR in the News: Shining a Light on Reuse and Community Support
We made the news!
Last month, Kennet Furniture Refurbiz (KFR) was featured on both ITV News West Country and BBC News, highlighting the vital work we’re doing to expand the reuse of furniture and white goods across Wiltshire.
As more families are affected by the cost‑of‑living crisis, our mission has never been more important: to give pre‑loved items a second life, reduce waste, and provide affordable essentials to households in need.

Why This Matters
The stories on ITV and BBC shine a spotlight on the challenges facing families today and the solutions that community reuse can provide. By refurbishing and redistributing donated furniture and appliances, KFR helps households save money, live sustainably, and feel supported during difficult times.
Every sofa, bed, cooker, or fridge we rescue from landfill is more than just an item; it’s a lifeline for someone starting over, moving into their first home, or struggling to make ends meet.
Buy Nothing New Day 2025
Our media coverage came at the perfect time, coinciding with Buy Nothing New Day 2025 
. This annual campaign encourages people to choose pre‑loved treasures instead of buying brand new.
By joining in, we showed that reuse isn’t just thrifty, it’s powerful. Every item reused means:
– Less waste in landfill
– More savings for families
– Greater support for our local community
