Not only are times uncertain and challenging for us all, but imagine the excitement of moving into a new property then the harsh reality hitting of realising you have nothing to cook on, wash your clothes in or safely store your food. Or on the run up to Christmas, one of your major appliances breaking down, already on a tight budget, this is now seen as a luxury that cannot be replaced.

This is the reality facing too many people this year as they move on from homelessness and go into their new tenancy, or as they as they live day to day, trying to make ends meet, a broken appliance may be the last straw.

This is where YOU and Fresh Start can help. By donating to our Cookers for Christmas appeal, we can continue to provide white goods to people moving on from homelessness, or to those who are living in abject poverty.

No one in 2022 should have to wash their clothing in the bath, never have a hot dinner and have no means to store something as simple as a pint of milk.

Lets not allow someones Christmas or life in the new year to feel this bleak. By working together we can provide people with the goods they need to enjoy a hot meal, live independently and make healthy choices during these challenging times, we hope we can offer a little light and hope with this vital service.
