Goldfinger Factory
Learning hub for the training, support and inspiration of London's disadvantaged residents.
Goldfinger Factory is empowering communities to transform waste into gold. A true social enterprise changing lives through re-use and design.
We are a charitable enterprise without the charity shop feel, mixing quality reclaimed pieces lovingly refurbished with design classics and custom-made pieces to make golden spaces at our stores and in your home, business or pop-up events.
These spaces are curated by designers, artists and craftsmen, and are all restored by trainees from socially disadvantaged groups, providing skills, support and ultimately jobs, whilst creating value in London’s rapidly growing re-use sector, and at the same time saving materials from ending up in landfill.
We provide workshops for the local community in furniture up-cycling, DIY and interior design as well as accredited training, work skills experience and ultimately create new job opportunities.
