A NEW project is making used furniture available to young people to help them live independently.

The Care Leavers Hub is being co-ordinated by Staffordshire County Council and will see items donated at Household Waste Recycling Centres delivered for free to those in need.

Items such as sofas, beds, kitchenware and lamps will all be made available.

Cllr Andrew Mynors, cabinet member for connectivity at Staffordshire County Council, said:

> “We’re committed to supporting our care leavers and giving them the best possible start in life.  
>  
> “By reusing good-quality furniture donated by our residents, we’re not only reducing waste in Staffordshire and helping to reuse and recycle but also making a real difference in our care leavers’ lives.  
>  
> “The project is all part of the council’s broader commitment to sustainability, community support, and empowering young people to thrive.”

The care leavers also receive cleaning hampers and basic essentials such as tool kits to help them move into homes provided by a local charity.
