Valpak white goods provision
Posted 14th April 2025
Valpak by Reconomy has partnered with the Coventry House Project to provide white goods to young people leaving care to move into their own homes.
The compliance scheme and consultancy will make available starter packs which include a refurbished fridge-freezer, cooker and washing machine.
The items will be purchased at a reduced rate from the GAP Group.
The year-long scheme has already provided 12 young people with the starter packs.
Many young people leaving care are not able to buy items for their properties, including white goods and personalised items, due to financial constraints.

Nazmean Nessa, house project lead for Coventry, said: “Having Valpak gift our House Project care leavers all of their white goods has helped our young people not only financially but also holistically in so many different areas.
“These items make a house into a home. Transitioning into adulthood and independent living is a scary time for our care leavers.
“However, being able to buy homely items makes it their safe space, which supports the young people’s mental health whilst settling into their homes. Young people have been able to create spaces in their homes that they are hugely proud of.”
James Beard, head of voluntary compliance at Valpak, added: “White goods are a costly outlay, especially for young people taking the step of living independently for the first time.
“We hope that this support from Valpak and GAP Group will help to alleviate the financial pressure and enable the young people to spend their money on more exciting aspects of setting up a home!”
In the past, Valpak has provided recycled paints, meals out, hoodies and Christmas gifts to local care-leavers.
The compliance scheme also helped out with the Coventry House Project’s National House Project litter pick and previously attended the Coventry House Project awards.
