Anyone know of a good home for a pair of sofas?

Two red sofas. Free to anyone that wants them.

Charities won't touch them because they have cat scratches on them, and so they can't resell them.

Seems a shame when there are bound to be people out there who could do with a sofa.

Any suggestions?

You're in Edinburgh or somewhere, aren't you? In Cambridge we have Emmaus, which reconditions furniture.

Otherwise, refugee support organisations or women's refuges might have contacts. Or craigslist or gumtree.

One of the share groups on Facebook? More than one if you can deliver? I think Elm Row/Broughton/Leith would be your nearest...

It looks as though your local Freecycling group ( https://groups.freecycle.org/group/EdinburghUK/posts/all ) is active. If you can't find somebody currently looking for a sofa you could post them as available.

John Lewis will take them away and refurbish them for charity.

(At least, that's what John Lewis say. The guys who came to actually take ours were of the opinion that most of them get scrapped....)
