The items are surplus to requirement because of the closure of the Castlegate building in the city centre.

It used to be the home of the council’s young people’s support and advice team, but staff have moved to a new base at 30 Clarence Street.

Desks, chairs, bookshelves, metal display boards, waste bins and rugs are all available being offered to a new home as well as small items such as monitor risers, pen pots and leaflet holders.

A special ‘open house’ event has been arranged at the Castlegate building from 1pm to 2.30pm on Tuesday 29 August, for interested charities to view what is available.

It is the responsibility of the charity to arrange collection of items with Katie Williams-Harris who will be onsite at the open house on the day. The items are intended for offices of a charitable organisations.  They are not intended for personal use at home.
