We believe that people with learning and other disabilities should have the same right to employment, training and volunteering as everyone else. All of our volunteers should have the same opportunities to mix with the wider community, work and relax. A lot of people with learning disabilities want to be challenged, to learn and achieve new things; just like everyone else. In addition to the furniture shop SLATE also operates a large cafe at The Old Fire Station in Gipton. In April 2015, with loan finance from the Key Fund and a grant from Yorkshire Venture Philanthropy Fund, the Charity Group acquired a warehouse/office facility in Hunslet.
Please call Collections on 0113 270 4005 to arrange a collection of your items or if you are passing please drop them into the shops. All donated items support our work in supporting those with learning disabilities and helps prevent usage items going to landfill. Please note that items of soft furnishing such as beds and sofas require a fire label for us to be able to collect them.
