A social worker turned interior designer is tackling furniture poverty by transforming the homes of social housing tenants through her charity.

Emily Wheeler, founder of Furnishing Futures, says the need for her charity is not just cosmetic design - domestic abuse survivors are often driven back to their perpetrators after being given empty social housing with no beds for their children.

When families escaping domestic violence are rehoused by their local council, properties are often stripped of all white goods, furniture, and flooring for health and safety reasons.

Having left their old homes suddenly without any of their belongings, families often end up in a flat or house with nowhere to cook or store food and no beds to sleep in, Emily Wheeler, founder of the charity Furnishing Futures, tells Sky News.

"There are no curtains at the windows, there's no oven, no fridge, no washing machine," she says. "Children are expected to sleep on concrete floors with no beds or bedding.

"Mothers may have experienced economic abuse or coercion and might not have access to their money and find themselves having to start again.

"So you can understand why some women think 'this is actually no better for my children than going back to my previous situation'."

Emily has been a frontline social worker in east London for more than 20 years. During a career break, during which she had her two children, she retrained as an interior designer.

When she returned to social work in 2014, she says austerity meant council budgets were being cut and previously available grants for social housing tenants were no longer funded.

"I've always seen furniture poverty throughout my career, but it had got worse," she says.

"I was meeting families living in these conditions without furniture and without access to support.

"When you look at the amount of stuff councils have to spend money on just to keep people safe, furniture isn't the priority."

Moved into empty flat two days after giving birth

Laura, not her real name, moved between different emergency accommodations while she was pregnant with her first child after being abused by her ex-partner.

She says she was offered a council flat two days after giving birth.

"When I first moved in it was all dirty, there was no furniture, no carpet, no cooker, fridge, or washing machine.

"I had to take out an emergency loan from Universal Credit to get away from my partner, so I didn't have any money left when my baby was born. The first couple of nights I could only eat takeaway food because there was nothing to cook with.

"It had concrete floors. I'd get up in the middle of the night to make my baby a bottle and it would be freezing, so I had to put blankets all over the floor."

Chief executive of the National Housing Federation Kate Henderson says: "In social housing, carpets have historically been removed as standard practice for practical reasons, to ensure hygiene between lets and to prevent any possible contamination.

"In some cases, housing associations provide new flooring as standard when a home is re-let, or in other cases they may provide decorating vouchers to new tenants, which can be used for flooring of their choice."

According to a 2021 study by the campaign group End Furniture Poverty, only 1% of social housing properties are furnished.

Councils under 'no legal obligation' 

The Housing Act 1985 states that a local authority "may fit out, furnish and supply a house provided by them with all requisite furniture, fittings and conveniences".

But Emily says this means there is no legal obligation to do so.

"Councils are fulfilling their duty by providing housing, so in the eyes of the law they're not doing anything wrong.

"But having an empty shell of concrete is not a home - just because you're not on the streets."

Having seen the problem on a wider scale when she began chairing multi-agency child protection conferences, she decided to combine her skills as a designer and social worker - and create a charity to help bridge the gap.

Furnishing Futures was set up in 2019. Emily and her team refloor, paint, and furnish empty properties given to trauma and domestic abuse survivors by councils.

She uses her industry connections, which include Soho House, DFS, Dunelm, and others, to source donated furniture, and fundraises for the rest.

She believes it is the only charity of its kind in the UK.

So far they have furnished more than 80 homes across east London, and a pilot scheme with Waltham Forest council and housing association Peabody will see another three completed there.

But with thousands of families on social housing waiting lists in each of the capital's 32 boroughs alone, she wants to expand nationally.

"The hardest thing about my job is having to say no to people because we don't have the capacity," she says.

"Every day we get inquiries from women, midwives, health visitors, other local authorities, domestic abuse agencies - but we're just a small team and the demand is huge."

The charity has a 4,000-square-foot warehouse, a team of five full-time staff, and a group of regular volunteers who help with flooring, painting, and assembling furniture.

As situations are often urgent, work is usually done in just one day.

Empty homes are form of 'revictimisation'

Jen Cirone, director of services at Solace Women's Aid, one of the charity's partners, says being housed in an empty home and having to start again is a form of "revictimisation".

But she says of the charity: "It's not only the practicalities of having a beautiful space to live in but also demonstrates that others care.

"Together, Furnishing Futures is able to complete the road to recovery that work with Solace has put them on."

Hannah, not her real name, is another of Emily's clients.

She was homeless after leaving her ex-partner and given emergency accommodation a day before she was due to give birth to her first child.

"I felt extremely stressed and vulnerable," she says. "As a victim of domestic violence and heavily pregnant, I already felt alone and unsupported.

"This empty space didn't feel like 'home' and it certainly wasn't suitable for baby."

As a type one diabetic she also had nowhere to store her insulin injections, she adds.

"I ended up staying in hospital for some time due to an emergency C-section and during that time Emily turned my empty, scary space into a home for me and my child."

Emily says that although COVID and the cost-of-living crisis have opened the conversation about poverty and how it affects domestic abuse survivors, the situation is "worse than ever".

"We're not just talking about poverty now, we're talking about destitution," she says.

"People need safe and comfortable homes. You won't be able to recover from trauma, rebuild your life, and be a productive part of society if you don't have your basic needs met."

A Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities spokesperson said: "Domestic abuse survivors deserve a safe home and we are grateful to Furnishing Futures for the work they do to help these families rebuild their lives.

"We expect social housing providers to play their part and provide homes that are of a decent quality, if tenants are unhappy, we encourage them to speak to their landlords.

"Our Social Housing Regulation Act is also driving up standards and strengthened the role of the Ombudsman so that it is easier for tenants to raise complaints."

“When they do eventually invent time machines, it’s ancient Rome that’s going to be booked solid for months as a destination. Sure, a lot of the people who are “saving to go to Tokyo” at the moment will go to feudal Japan and bring back a load of hand-crafted armour, but they will be in the minority. Some people will simply use it to go back to London in the 90s and watch an episode of The Big Breakfast being filmed before having sex with Robbie Williams. I’ll drag my girlfriend to Victorian Whitechapel – “No, it’s good! They have trains, and smog! We can wear grey clothes and solve that murder!” – and the whole trip will be so underwhelming I’ll have to take us on a big expensive fortnight in 60s New York as penance.”

“But, fundamentally, when time travel is invented your WhatsApp is going to be pinging with newly formed groups called “Ancient Rome trip”. You’re going to have to free up thousands of pounds for travel and a few gold coins for accommodation and the wine kitty. Every stag do for the rest of time will be to see bloodsports at the Colosseum, before watching a sculptor make an emperor’s marble bust. You’ll be stood next to someone’s mostly-silent friend-from-uni for an entire long weekend before Christ was born, and the only thing he’ll say to you is, “Mad how they’ve got underfloor heating, isn’t it? We haven’t even got that in the flat.”

“Anyway, here’s Those About to Die (18 July, Prime Video), which will have to do until then. It’s a mega-budget swords-and-sandals epic, inexplicably starring Anthony Hopkins, who plays an ageing Emperor Vespasian as he has to choose a successor from his two sons, the warrior Titus Flavanius (Tom Hughes) and the unbearable Domitian (Jojo Macari). There’s a delicate power shift among Rome’s political elite; there’s a lot of chariot racing; there are queens who keep walking around at night with hoods on; there are slaves who through honour and great strength will make it to the top; there’s a lot of pouring wine out of big jugs. Blood spatters the sand.”

Love is in the Air(BnB) - a quick summary (teaser)

Finally! After years of waiting, you were finally headed back to your favourite city in the whole world: London! But with your luck, so was everyone else and prices for flights and accommodations had skyrocketed. With half of your budget already spent on your flights, there was no way you could also afford a hotel room which was reasonably priced and in a good area. Your last resort was booking a private room in someone’s home, and after scrolling through the infamous website you finally found a listing that caught your eye. It was perfect. You had to book it before someone else was able to. Located in South London, nicely decorated, close to a tube station, perfect reviews, and hosted by a guy with a superhost-status named Wes. Nothing could go wrong now! Oh, how you were mistaken…

Hey there! We are a family of 5 (4 youths, one 55 year old) planning a 10-day trip to England and Scotland in month of June 2024.

We are planning to spend 4 days in London, one day trip from London to either Oxford or Wales. 1-2 days in Edinburgh, around 2 days in Inverness. Any other recommendations?

Can you guys help me with some pro tips? Some things we are interested in are

hidden gems/off beat attractions

local activities

best/cheap travel options - car rental for Scotland? Trains are expensive - are they worth it?

What's the best way to reduce too much walking for the 55 yr old family member? Maybe like scooter rental options? - Lime e-scooters?

vegan food options

Recommended stay options - recommended serviced apartment under 250 GBP a night?

Money saving tips - visitor oyster cards, London pass, Explorer pass. I've read britrail pass isn't worth it? What are things I can book in advance apart from accommodation and train tickets?

Best way to spend - contactless forex card

Things to buy

Things not to do

What to carry - a raincoat, water resistant shoes, layers for clothing

Any month specific attraction? - Mayfield Lavender fields

Is there anyway I can catch a play/show that stars celebrities during this time? (no points for guessing I'm interested in anything with Benedict/Martin)

Sherlock related attractions - shooting locations, souvenir shops, found this awesome BBC Sherlock Guidebook

Anything else you recommend?

Thanks a lot!!

Okay, I'm finally getting around to answering things-- (sorry it's taken so long)

Anyways, I'm not completely sure what your budget it, so I'll just go from my experience. As for the trip itself, I hope you guys have so much fun! London is amazing and I wish I could come with you.

Now prepare yourself for an academic essay (not really) of a post with pictures included (below the cut) because I am a nerd.

For the day trip to Oxford or Wales, I loved both places (Wales in a really fun cultural experience), but if you're concerned for time, Oxford is closer (1 hour drive) while Wales is a 4 hour train ride. My group did a tour of Oxford college while we spent a good two or three days in Wales. I was in Oxfordshire at the same time Benedict Cumberbatch was, but he was 23 miles away and I was so sad

As for Inverness, Inverness Castle is a really cool stop and Loch Ness was so much fun to see. I would definitely bring an umbrella though. My entire group forgot their umbrellas and we got absolutely drenched. Also, if you have a little time on your hands, the Hogwarts Express bridge from Harry Potter is just an hours drive from Inverness and it has a great hiking spot and a fun little gift store. It's at Glenfinnan Viaduct and it was fun to see. There's also a Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station (I know there's been a lot of stuff with JK Rowling, but liking Harry Potter and liking JK Rowling are two very different things and it's perfectly fine to like Harry Potter and hate JKR.)

One of my favorite things to do as a tourist is to... be a tourist (which sounds weird) so I absolutely love to go to all the major attractions. However, I've found some really fun places. Gelato shops, for one, are very nice (and tasty!). Speedy's Cafe from Sherlock is an actual place, as well as 221B Baker Street. Speedy's Cafe is on 187 N Gower St, Euston Rd., London NW1 2NJ, United Kingdom, and it can range from 1-10 pounds a person for food. That same street with Speedy's is the filming location for the outside of 221B Baker Street. The real Baker Street is a little ways away, but there is a Sherlock Holmes museum. With a student ID, tickets are around 8 dollars a person (otherwise, it's 16). The wait time is a bit much, but it's worth it. There's a lot of Sherlock Holmes tours that are really exciting, but if you don't want to go on a guided tour, they filmed in a lot of easily recognizable parts of London such as Trafalgar Square. There's also a lot of tourist sites online that have said locations, and it helps that London is an easily walkable city (and the public transport is a literal godsend compared to Utah). Bletchley Park is also a must-see, but only really for people who are interested in the behind-the-scenes of WWII, in a way, and Alan Turing. And yes, it looks exactly like it did in The Imitation Game. However, tickets are a bit pricey and the hour train ride to Bletchley is also quite pricey.

Arthur Conan Doyle was actually born in Edinbrough so there's some things to do there, if they put the statue back. Edunbrough Castle is a great visit and it is supposedly the inspiration for Hogwarts. There's also a grave with the name Tom Riddle in what is supposedly one of the most haunted cemeteries in the UK if that's interesting for you. Also, in Endinbrough, there are bagpipes everywhere. There is, quite literally, a bagpipe player on every street corner. It's amazing.

When I did the study abroad, my group rented two coaches for Scotland (we had 29 people -- 22 students, two directors, and then the five of the directors families) so I don't have a lot of experience with the trains. My advice, however, is to create a spreadsheet somewhere and make a list of what you want to do, how much it would cost, and how much you're willing to spend and go from there. Find train and car rental websites and find one that works with what you plan to do. Also, if those sights have any reviews, look at them. Find what other people are saying about the particular service -- everyone has different opinions, but if one site has more positive reviews from more people, than that could be a good starting place for what you want.

London has really great public transportation, and Oyster Cards are very useful for getting around. Most of the tube stations I went on have both stairs and elevators, and the busses are enjoyable for tourists. Other than that, I'd find some tourist websites that talk about accessibility in London.

Again, I'm not completely sure about stay options as my group had our accommodations provided by the college (but ooooh boy that is a long story--), so I would recommend the spreadsheet and travel websites. AirBnB's are also a good option.

On money saving, Oyster Cards are incredible. I don't know how much they cost, but I used mine at least two times a day, sometimes even four during the entire 3 week stay. Definitely get an oyster card. I'm not completely sure about the other passes, however (SPREADSHEET). Other things to book might be some activities -- London has a lot of fun tourist areas that may be enjoyable. For example, Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, etc. Also, in terms of souvenirs -- it's really exciting to get things on site, and sometimes that's the only place you can get stuff, but a good rule of thumb is that you can generally get the same thing for a lot cheaper somewhere else. An example would be that I wanted a SIX sweatshirt when I went and saw it life. Sweatshirts were around $60 dollars while Amazon had them for around $20. You don't have to get everything from Amazon, but if you're worried about it, there are cheaper options elsewhere.

Some advice about European Culture if you didn't know them already: take-out is called take-away, and you usually have to flag the waiter down at restaurants (or simply raise your hand). Also just be polite, and Americans are generally really loud compared to Europeans so, assuming you're American, just be aware of your surroundings. In other parts of Europe, like Greece, pick-pocketing is a big deal, so we had to keep a closer eye on our belonging (I would hold my phone or put it in a front pocket). I'm not sure if this is a big thing in London, but still -- be aware of your belongings. General safety also applies in trusting your gut, using buddy system, and not being out alone at night.

One of the best tips about London is Tesco. If not for the joy of having a row with the local pin machines, than for the 4 pound meal deals -- a main, a side, and a drink. My family lived on these lunch deals. They are pretty good, they have a decent selection, and are in literally every single Tesco you go to. Tesco also has pretty decent prices and, if you're smart about it, you can feel a family of 5 for a week on one trip.

For things to carry: umbrella (in the summer the rain isn't so bad, but it's there), good walking shoes, definitely layer up. London can go from 90 degrees to 50 in an hour, and can go from not a cloud in sight to torrential downpour. My SH tour was caught in the second one -- that was an experience to say the least. Don't forget things like an oyster card and maybe some extra cash if you feel you may need it.

I have no idea about celebrity shows, but West End is literally the Broadway of London (but a whole lot cheaper). My family saw 10 shows on West End during our 3 three week stay. It was amazing, and if you fancy a night out, China Town is literally just around the corner.

That's pretty much all I have right now! It's pretty long, but I hope it's what your looking for! If you have other questions, feel free to ask. (spreadsheets will be your best friend if you know how to use them)

By booking in advance, researching extensively, exploring alternative neighborhoods, and considering different accommodation options, you can secure budget-friendly and affordable accommodation in this magnificent city.

[eddiediaaz]

Hi Ali! Weird question but you mentioned you went to london a few months ago and I was wondering if you any tips to where to check accommodation and places to visit (im checking the possibility of going next year with some friends fingers crossed )and like there’s a lot and is kinda overwhelming

hii! not weird! keep in mind that i went alone though, so these are my experiences as a solo traveler on a budget~

i stayed at a women-only called hostelle. it made me feel safe, it was quite cheap (for london), and it was close to the tube and a few restaurants. it was also very queer friendly, i saw multiple enby people there as well. i only stayed in london for 4 nights, but very good vibes while i was there! they have rooms of 4 beds and up, so you could book a full room with your friends? though they didn't have AC, so i would probably avoid it in the summer lol

as for activities, i didn't have a fully packed schedule, i mostly went with what i felt like doing that day. also i was quite lucky that it didn't rain at all (except one half day) while i was there! but here are some of the things i did and loved (in no particular order):

victoria & albert museum: so so large with a lot of art, you could easily spend half a day there (it's also where they shot that red, white and royal blue slow dancing scene hehe)

full day trip to the cotswolds: @lightasthesun and i embarked on a small tour bus to visit four old picturesque little villages in the country side an hour or two outside of london. it was kinda pricey, but the sights were lovely and the guide was really fun. it's a "lowkey" activity with multiple breaks on a bus if you don't feel like walking all day. i would avoid going on the weekends tho

free self-guided walking tour in notting hill: this neighborhood with all of the colorful houses and fancy buildings was SO pretty!! i really enjoyed spending half a day there and walking all over. this is the walking tour i did if i remember correctly (the google maps itinerary was really handy)

while in notting hill i also went to the little museum of brands, it was really nice and fun to see the evolution of brands in the uk. and i also ate the farm girl cafe, the food was absolutely delicious and it was such a cute place!

hopping on a red double decker bus (NOT a hop-on hop-off tour bus, just a random city bus downtown because it's wayyyy cheaper) to see the sights, especially in the evening. i don't remember which route i took, but i remember googling "best sightseeing london bus routes) or something like that

walk, walk, walk! i walked a lot while in london, especially to see some of the famous sights: walking on the london and westminster bridges, big ben, the london eye, etc etc. i didn't visit any of the interior of these places, seeing it from the outside was enough for me to be honest. maybe next time!

camden market in camden town: such an eclectic vibe!! the market has a lot of shops and food stalls, it was nice walking in there. i would definitely go as early as possible in the day tho, cause by midday it was quite packed. the streets around the market are also fun to just walk in and take in the sights.

soho: lots of shopping and nightlife there. it's not really my scene that much, especially alone, but i enjoyed walking in this area for a little while. i spent quite a bit of time in the huuuuge liberty london department store. i had a very yummy fish & chips at golden union for dinner. the portion was huge, price was fair, and service was great.

the graffiti tunnel under waterloo station was really cool to take pictures in, but it did feel a little creepy to go there alone haha. the art there was really fun to see

kensington: kinda bougee neighborhood, but it was pretty, had a nice vibe and a lot of restaurants

annnnd that's about it, i think? i hope it gives you some inspiration and ideas!! london was really fun, i cannot wait to go again :D

Exploring the Closest Removal Company near me

Moving homes can be an exhilarating yet daunting experience, especially in a city as vibrant and bustling as London. With its maze of streets, diverse neighbourhoods, and busy traffic, finding the right removal company nearby can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth transition to your new abode. As a Londoner myself, I understand the importance of convenience and reliability when it comes to such services. So, let's embark on a journey to explore the closest London removal companies near you, ensuring your relocation is as stress-free as possible.

One of the primary considerations when selecting a removal company is proximity. Londoners value efficiency, and having a removal company nearby can save valuable time and streamline the moving process. Fortunately, London is teeming with removal companies, ranging from local family-run businesses to larger-scale operations. Utilising online platforms and directories tailored to your area can help identify the closest options available.

However, proximity alone should not dictate your choice. It's essential to delve deeper into each company's offerings and reputation to ensure a seamless moving experience. Look for testimonials and reviews from past customers to gauge their satisfaction levels. Additionally, consider factors such as pricing, services offered, and insurance coverage to make an informed decision.

While researching, keep an eye out for London Removal Company that offers bespoke services tailored to your specific needs. Whether you require assistance with packing, furniture assembly, or storage solutions, opting for a company that provides comprehensive services can alleviate much of the moving day stress. Moreover, enquire about their fleet of vehicles and equipment to ensure they can accommodate your belongings safely and efficiently.

As you narrow down your options, don't hesitate to reach out to each company for a personalised quote. Many reputable removal companies offer free consultations and transparent pricing structures, allowing you to compare costs and make budget-conscious decisions. Remember to inquire about any hidden fees or additional charges to avoid surprises on moving day.

Beyond convenience and affordability, prioritise reliability and professionalism when selecting a removal company. Moving homes is a significant life event, and entrusting your belongings to a reputable company can provide peace of mind amidst the chaos. Look for accreditations and affiliations within the industry, as well as adherence to industry standards and regulations.

Furthermore, consider the level of customer service provided by each company. A friendly and responsive team can make all the difference in ensuring a positive moving experience.
