Homestore's impact

Homestore helps people in a practical way, building up homes without building up debt. Every year, over 1,500 people come to our Stratford warehouse and choose furniture which they want at affordable prices. Everyone has a different story, but most often they tell us that the impact Homestore has on them is far greater than just furniture.

 

"I've got a son. It's made a lot of difference to us. It makes you feel better because you know you're able to afford something - it does something for you personally as well as just getting furniture.  It'd be really hard to think what I'd do to get furniture without Homestore. I wouldn't want to imagine." Denise

John's story

There was very little furniture there so we needed furniture and I came across Homestore. It was a godsend, it was really was amazing, especially because of the deliveries.
