Seven year old Otis Morris can’t wait to tell his school pals that he has been filmed for television. He was with mum Zoe at Shrewsbury Furniture Scheme’s warehouse when a TV film crew visited on the occasion of the charity’s 30th anniversary.
Zoe, 49, was given a voucher to spend and Otis, a pupil at Bomere Heath CE Primary School, selected a double bed with drawers in the base.
They were interviewed and filmed in the warehouse and the news crew were afterwards completing the assignment at the family’s home in Bomere Heath. Otis told the interviewer why he had chosen the double bed and Zoe said she was a single parent finding the cost of living a struggle at the moment. She had previously used the furniture warehouse when she was setting up her flat and with money tight the scheme was an ‘excellent opportunity’ to make an affordable purchase, she said: “I’ve had white goods and a chest-of-drawers in the past and the people here are lovely.
“We sell on at a very low price to people with very little in the local community so it becomes a win-win situation.” He added that the scheme could not operate without volunteers: “We are very proud of our volunteers who are amazing and give lots of hours of their time.”
