FRC Group

FRC Group is a pioneering social enterprise dedicated to ending furniture poverty in the UK. Established in 1988, we have grown into one of the country's most impactful not-for-profit organisations, combining commercial success with social purpose. Our multi-faceted approach includes providing new contract furniture through FRC Living, delivering bespoke interior design solutions via Buckingham Interiors, and rescuing and redistributing pre-loved furniture through Bulky Bob's. We measure our achievements through both financial sustainability and measurable social value creation, having generated 3.1m in social value and delivered over 22,000 furniture items in our last financial year alone. Our team of experts combines decades of sector experience with innovative practices to tackle furniture poverty through three core pillars: direct service provision, systemic campaigning, and sustainable employment creation.

With formal accreditations including Social Enterprise of the Year recognition, we maintain rigorous standards across our operations, from ethical supply chain management to environmental stewardship. Our training programmes have created over 430 jobs since 2013, demonstrating our commitment to transforming lives through practical solutions. Operating UK-wide while maintaining strong local roots in Liverpool and Oldham, we combine national reach with community-focused delivery. Our annual impact reports transparently document our progress towards ending furniture poverty, ensuring accountability to all stakeholders. Through strategic partnerships with housing associations, local authorities, and corporate donors, we continue expanding our capacity to address this critical social issue.
