Story

As we approach the darker nights and colder months, Fresh Start has already started planning for the festive period, to ensure people who have experienced homelessness are receiving the help they need, during what can be a very difficult time for them. Thats why we are already launching our annual Cookers for Christmas Appeal for 2018.

After someone has experienced homelessness, being able to afford a cooker for their new home is often a luxury they cannot afford, along with many other essential household items. Around the Christmas period, this lack of amenity is felt further as all around, messages of indulging in delicious treats and sitting down for tasty meals are shown almost at the turn of every corner.

At Fresh Start, we want to make this a reality for people who have been homeless and provide them with a brand new cooker, fully fitted by our trained and professional team. Any small donation is welcome and will go towards providing someone with a new cooker that will make a real difference to not only their festive period but also their life going forward.
