Trent Compassion Trust
Registered Charity No: 1091918
About Us
At Trent Compassion we desire to show God's love in a practical way. We look to provide furniture and household items free of charge to those in emergency situations and financial hardship who have been referred to us. We also run a free debt advice centre, help people get back into work, befriend refugee and asylum seekers and take food and warm drinks to those sleeping rough in Nottingham city centre.
We have an onsite vintage and retro shop called The Attic, selling upcycled furniture, branded and vintage clothes and retro homewares.
The Attic helps raise funds for new essential items for those who are referred to us. We aim to do this by selling pre loved items and adding value by restoring, re upholstering and painting selected items.
