Practical support. Dignity. Connection. Opportunity.

Fresh Start Laundry is our first upcoming initiative, created in response to a gap we identified in practical support for people experiencing homelessness and financial hardship.

Access to clean clothes and laundry facilities is something many of us take for granted. For someone without stable accommodation or sufficient financial resources, it can be difficult to access.

Fresh Start Laundry aims to provide access to free laundry support, helping people maintain personal hygiene, feel more comfortable and experience the dignity of having clean, fresh clothing.

Fresh Start Laundry and Community Initiative also offers a social dimension, bringing people together in the community hub while they access the free laundry service. During their time with us, people can enjoy free food, connect and socialise with others, and spend time in a welcoming environment designed to foster connection, reduce social isolation and build a sense of belonging.

We work with barbers, beauty professionals and volunteers to provide free grooming services to people who may not otherwise be able to access them.

A haircut, grooming session or moment of self-care can make a meaningful difference to someone’s confidence and how they feel about themselves.

For us, grooming is not simply about appearance. It is about dignity, confidence and feeling cared for.

We recognise that wellbeing is connected to every part of our lives.

Through partnerships with relevant organisations and professionals, we aim to connect people with health, wellbeing and support services that can help them look after their physical, emotional and social wellbeing.

Our role is to help make support more accessible and ensure people know where they can turn for help.
