Kennet Furniture Refubiz announce opening of KFR Swindon

Posted on the 10th October 2025

Reuse Network member, Kennet Furniture Refurbiz (KFR) has just announced the opening of KFR Swindon, following the exciting addition of Upcycle Swindon to the KFR family.

This marks a significant step forward in its mission to support communities across Wiltshire with affordable furniture, practical assistance, and people-powered change.

With two hubs, KFR Devizes and now KFR Swindon, we can accept more donations, deliver faster, and serve more households than ever before. Whether it’s a fridge for tomorrow, a sofa for the weekend, or a warm chat over coffee, we’re here to help.

With two hubs now operating, KFR can rescue even more preloved furniture and household goods from landfill, giving them a second life in homes across Wiltshire.

This not only cuts waste but also reduces the carbon footprint linked to manufacturing and disposal. Every reused item means fewer emissions, less strain on local services, and a greener future for our community. It’s practical sustainability, powered by people.

This expansion means:

  • Supporting more families across Wiltshire
  • Saving more donations from landfill
  • Enabling faster deliveries and improved local access
  • Building a stronger, greener, more connected community

We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Upcycle into the KFR family,” said Dan Thompson, Managing Director of KFR. “This move allows us to reach more people, respond more swiftly, and create a bigger environmental impact across Wiltshire. It’s about community, dignity, and practical support, and we’re proud to grow that mission in Swindon.”

Vicky Ellis, General Manager of KFR Swindon, added: “We’ve hit the ground running. The team here is passionate, experienced, and ready to serve Swindon with the same heart and energy KFR is known for. From our children’s department to our white goods, and now beds, we’re here to help families feel supported and recognised.”
