Hidden Help
Registered Charity No. 1193305
Donate your furniture and household items to help those in urgent need in Cornwall to make a new home and a fresh start
Started by Judy Backus 15 years ago (on her own), Hidden Help is now a registered charity with volunteer helpers, working to respond quickly to those who need urgent help

We help those referred to us by Social Services and other statutory bodies – those fleeing domestic violence, the homeless, refugees, ex-prisoners, the elderly, long-term sick and those being re-housed. We set them up with your recycled household items quickly and for free, since very often they are given an apartment with nothing in it at all -not even carpets or curtains or anything to cook with or sleep on. We can fix that with your help and give individuals and families some dignity.
