💙 COOKERS FOR CHRISTMAS 2026 💙

Everyone deserves the chance for a Fresh Start after homelessness - and this Christmas, you can help make it happen.

For those moving on from or at risk of homelessness, replacing or purchasing a cooker for their home can be an unaffordable expense, especially at this time of year. These essential appliances, alongside fridge/freezers and washing machines, are often the key to living a happy, healthy and stable life - over the festive season, and in the months and years to come.

Our annual Cookers for Christmas Appeal raises funds to support those in need to access these essential items, giving them the tools they need to thrive, not just survive. At Fresh Start, we believe everyone deserves to have a warm, clean and comfortable home, where they can feed and look after themselves, and their family.

📣Here's how you can support the Appeal:

1. Donate to this JustGiving page, or send a donation via cash, cheque or bank transfer - don't forget to say yes to GiftAid!

Please Note: When making a donation on JustGiving, it asks you to leave a tip, which is automatically pre-set at 15%. If you'd like to adjust the amount, simply click 'Enter Custom Amount'. This tip is optional, so, if you just want to make a donation to Fresh Start, you're able to opt out of leaving a tip by entering the value as £0.

2. Host a #GatherForGood event by turning your office Christmas party, 'Friendmas', Christmas Carols or other festive celebration into a fundraiser for Fresh Start.

3. Share the campaign with your community - help spread the word!

Every donation makes a huge difference - thank you for your support, it truly means the world 🌍
