It is not good enough – it’s not even one of the many fake contests and ads on Facebook.
the Hotel Scandic in Roskilde gives people the possibility to empty the 49 guest rooms of furniture, and it should not cost a penny. Do you want to pay for his new bed, chair, or quilt, so you can donate an amount of money which goes to the “christmas stamp home” in Roskilde.
the Hotel needs to renovate 49 of their rooms from Monday 17. december, and to create a little juleglæde to the private and the children on the “christmas stamp home” in Roskilde has been found on the idea of giving furniture away.
Ole Høgh is, by virtue of his job as director for Scandic in Roskilde, santa claus in a suit, it is him who is behind the initiative with the free furniture.
– Why give In just your furniture away?
– We could as well have given them to a thrift store, but we think it here was a really good idea. For there is no doubt that there is a need out there for such an initiative here, tells the director to Ekstra Bladet.
– Why have you not chosen to say that people should pay a small amount rather than make it a voluntary decision?
– It is, because not everyone can afford to pay, even though they would like to. I have heard from a single mother, who sleeps on a mattress on the floor. She dreams to get a bed, but cannot afford to pay for it. So she should then have the opportunity to come and download a free.
– it’s as old furniture, In the stand you?
– It is a good mix. Some of them are from when the hotel opened, but the vast majority have been changed through the ages. The newest is a few years old, but everything is in good condition.
– as with duvets, pillows, linen and sheets. The seller also?
– We do not sell linen but duvets and pillows are. And we come not with all the duvets and pillows, so there’s probably some homeless people who can get pleasure from it
– What do you do, if that doesn’t turn any up on Friday and Saturday to pick up the free furniture?
– Well, so do we as it in the traditional way, where we ask some shops if they might be interested in the furniture. But there are so many who have turned to us, so we expect that someone will show up.
– do you Think it will be businesses that come and take all the beds in order to sell them on?
I hope definitely not, that it is. I really hope that it goes to private and for those who are a little more pressed in everyday life economically.
It will not be possible to reserve the furniture for so to download them later in the day. One must take his new bed, chair or pillow in home with the same.
There will be køkultur, so it will not be possible to run around the different rooms and snatch all the beds. Have you been in a room, then it’s back in the queue and wait for the next trip.
the OIe Høgh has no expectation that you have to pay for the furniture, but he hopes that people will want to donate a small amount to the children.
There will be sold mulled wine and fritters in front of the hotel for the attendees. The money from the sale will go to the local julemærkehjem.
On February the remaining 49 rooms at the Scandic are renovated. It becomes a success with pick up free furniture on Friday and Saturday, so expect one to repeat the session for February.
