Furnishing Futures

COAT is a proud charity partner to Furnishing Futures - who create healing homes for women and children escaping domestic violence. Our partnership supports the charity with paint and volunteer time, to transform empty spaces into to trauma-informed safe havens for those who need it most.

Homes Create Hope.

Home is something we often take for granted. The comfort, and safety it offers. But for women and children placed in empty social housing after domestic abuse -  “home” no longer has that meaning.

A Real Problem

Women and children fleeing domestic abuse are put in a desperate situation, forced to start again with nothing. The condition of properties is beyond what we could imagine. And this, in a world where so much goes to waste;

  • <2% of social housing includes furniture
  • (Even carpets and flooring aren't included)
  • 1m children in the UK don't have a bed
  • 22m pieces of furniture go to landfill each year

How We Help

COAT is please to provide paint, and our employee's time, to support Furnishing Futures in their important work. The holistic support the charity offers for women and children who have escaped domestic abuse is inspiring to see, and we're so keen to drive awareness and support'

  • Design healing homes that feel safe
  • Provide furnishings for a 'fresh start'
  • Offer holistic support on work and finance
  • Give survivors ownership and dignity

"I've seen a child's room with nails sticking out the floor. The child was sleeping on that floor. As a dad, this reality hit hard. Something must change, and that's why we're championing the charity so close to home."
