Give a Dog a Bone (GADAB) is a registered Community Interest Company No. 08310482.
The ethos of the company is to reduce, reuse and recycle and aims to change the throw away culture of society today.
The company employs local people and creates local entry level jobs. The two high-street shops provide a community hub for local people to have a welcoming and affordable shopping experience, meet other residents and take part in
workshops in furniture upcycling and repairs.
The company has a large social media following of 3000 and the
turnaround of furniture online is extremely fast.
The residents of the Borough of Enfield, & surrounding areas, have a high mobility rate due to many families moving into the borough for short periods due to the UK housing shortage.
There is currently a significant amount of regeneration and new housing as well as existing property voids and rehousing. These factors mean there is a high need of support for families moving into a new home.
GADAB believes the basic essentials of furnishing a home helps to give every child in Enfield a good start to their health well-being.
By having the opportunity to choose furniture for themselves, families have a sense of ownership of their home often resulting in a tenant being more inclined to take pride in their home, treat it as a place they want to be and improve community cohesion and
reduce anti-social behaviour.
