Making a House a Home: Our Donation to Glenside Children’s Home

At Ocee & Four Design, we turn good spaces into great experiences. We believe a comfortable, nurturing environment can make a world of difference, especially for children & young people in need. Recently, we had the pleasure of donating furniture to a newly registered children’s home at Glenside, which is part of WiNurture – an organisation dedicated to providing bespoke therapeutic residential care for children and young people between the ages of 5 and 18.

We were pleased to receive a heartfelt message from the team at Glenside, expressing their gratitude for our contribution. Their words remind us of the impact that donating our furniture has had on their community:

“I am just writing to express our gratitude to Pete Hills and your team for the wonderful generosity that Ocee & Four Design has shown us in donating all the fabulous furniture for our children’s home at Glenside. I have attached some photos of where we have used the furniture in the home. We also shared some of the furniture with WiEducate, who run an education facility alongside our company, so they too have also really benefitted. I would also like to say how wonderful the delivery drivers were in helping bring the furniture in! Your donation will benefit the children for years to come and has really made this house a home.”

The photos they shared with us depict the vibrant and inviting spaces where the children now live, learn, and grow. The furniture we provided not only serves practical needs but also contributes to creating a warm, homely atmosphere that can support the children’s emotional and psychological well-being.

A Collaborative Effort for a Brighter Future

We’re delighted to hear that some of the furniture was also shared with WiEducate, an educational facility associated with Glenside. This means that our donation is having an even broader impact, benefiting both the residential and educational aspects of the children’s lives. The partnership between WiNurture and WiEducate underscores the importance of a holistic approach to care, where living and learning environments work together to support young people.

Delivery with a Difference

The positive feedback about our delivery drivers is particularly heartwarming. We’re glad our team’s efforts to ensure a smooth and friendly delivery process did not go unnoticed. We pride ourselves on our customer service and are thrilled to hear that our drivers handled bringing in the furniture with care and kindness.

Donating Furniture for a Lasting Impact

The true measure of our success is in the smiles of the children and the comfort they now enjoy in their new home. Knowing that our furniture will benefit them for years to come fills us with immense pride. At Ocee & Four Design, we are committed to supporting communities and making a positive impact wherever we can.

Promoting Sustainability through Donating Furniture

Promoting sustainability through our furniture donation reflects our commitment to making a lasting impact beyond mere functionality. By repurposing and donating furniture we extend their lifecycle and reduce waste, aligning with our environmental goals. This donation not only supports the well-being of the children at Glenside but also promotes a circular economy where resources are reused to benefit communities in need.

A Home for Amazing Children

Glenside children’s home, now a sanctuary for some amazing young people, has truly transformed from a house to a home. As children move in, we hope that our furniture continues to play a role in their journey towards healing & growth. It is our sincere hope that the nurturing environment at Glenside will help these children flourish & achieve their full potential.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Glenside for allowing us to be a part of their mission. Let’s continue to turn good spaces into great experiences, one piece of furniture at a time.
