You know those moments when you come across something and think “why isn’t everyone talking about this?” 

That’s exactly what happened when we met ethical office clearance UK charity and Social Enterprise Waste to Wonder Worldwide.

How it works

Businesses clear out offices all the time. New premises, rebrand, downsizing, whatever. And typically, that furniture ends up in one of two places: landfill or some expensive storage unit gathering dust.

Waste to Wonder Worldwide had a better idea.

They collect that furniture – chairs, desks, filing cabinets, the lot – and redistribute it to schools and charities that desperately need it. We’re not talking small numbers here. They’ve donated £49 million worth of furniture to over 1,500 schools across 47 countries.

Your old office chairs? They’re now in a classroom in Cameroon. Those desks you were going to skip? They’re helping kids learn in communities that would never have access to them otherwise.

The carbon savings? Over 1.3 million kilograms on some projects alone.

They’ve won awards (Green World Awards, the Prove It Social Impact Award and been named one of the UAE’s Future100 Social Impact Innovators), they work with big name clients, and they’ve built something that genuinely changes lives.

When we found out about them, we reached out and offered to help get more eyes on what they’re doing. More businesses need to know this option exists.

What we’re doing

We’re helping them get noticed – building their social presence, creating content that shows the real impact of what they do, and connecting them with businesses who’ve got furniture going spare and don’t know what to do with it.

Most companies don’t even know Waste to Wonder Worldwide exists. They think it’s skip or storage. Two options.

There’s a third option that costs less, saves the planet, and changes lives.

If you’re clearing an office

Moving premises? Refurbing? Got 24 chairs or 2,400 workstations you need gone?

Your ‘waste’ becomes someone’s wonder.
