Welcome to Gofa

GOFA is a furniture and electrical appliance reuse project based in Penzance, Cornwall. We provide donated furniture and household electrical goods at affordable prices to people on low incomes so that they can furnish their homes.

Donating to or buying from GOFA helps everyone, so please help us by donating your unwanted furniture. Without your support we couldn't provide the service we do.
