New Start Highland is a dynamic and evolving organisation which was set up by James Dunbar in 2000. Through a programme of re-use we provide furniture and household items, with aims for social implications as well as positive environmental impacts.
The social issues tackled by New Start Highland are three-fold. Along with furniture and household item re-use, a housing support service is in place, combined with a programme of employment training, helping people in the community who face barriers to securing a job. Through its multitude of services, New Start Highland has saved the public purse millions of pounds since its inception.
New Start Highland Enterprises funds the organisation’s charitable activities. It includes a refurbished bike outlet in Inverness and runs professional, commercial services such as order fulfilment, house clearance, removals and storage services operating all over the Highlands.
