Help Keep Our Residents' Clothes Clean & Dry!

Our washing machines have broken, leaving residents without clean clothes. This is about more than laundry it’s about dignity, comfort, and wellbeing. We urgently need to replace them and keep this vital service running.

Story

We urgently need to replace our washing machines and dryers - can you help?

For years, our residence has relied on industrial style washing and drying machines generously supported by a local company. These machines have been essential in providing clean, warm clothing and bedding to people experiencing homelessness.

Now, we face a problem. The machines have broken down, and the engineer who has maintained them for us is retiring. Without working laundry facilities, our residents are struggling to keep their clothes clean something so simple, yet so vital for dignity and wellbeing.

We need to raise £2000 to buy new machines that come with a service contract, ensuring they last for years to come.

Why This Matters

Clean clothes aren't just about hygiene; they provide dignity, comfort, and confidence. For people facing homelessness, something as simple as fresh laundry can mean the difference between feeling invisible and feeling human.

Please donate today and help us restore this essential service for our residents.
