Wycombe wanderers star Adebayo Akinfenwa is supporting a brand new charity campaign to help the housing and furtinute crisis in High Wycombe.
The 'Re-build campaign', launched by Power tool company Ryobi and High Wycombe charity Central Aid will source and restore much needed furniture and household fittings for local people in need.
Akinfenwa spoke to us about why he joined this important campaign.
"Wycombe is a home away from home, so when this campaign came out, I thought yeah!
You know what, it's about community, so I think thats why it resonates with me, 'cause I feel like communities have to come together, and the more we shine a light on it, the better it can only be."
Stuart Allen, General Manager at Central Aid commented:
“Furniture poverty is a constant and in many cases hidden issue. We have been working in High Wycombe since 1906 and we work tirelessly every day to support people who often find themselves in housing where they have almost no furniture at all, but in all honesty, we can never do enough.
I can’t encourage people enough not to throw out their unwanted furniture as there are so many people who need exactly the type of furniture that so often gets discarded – we’re here every day to take it in and get it to people in need."
