Free Laundry for Homeless Guests – Crisis at Christmas 2024
After the positive impact of our partnership with Crisis at Christmas last year, we’re proud to be renewing our partnership for Christmas 2024 to provide care and support to people experiencing homelessness.
We will be offering free laundry services to 100 individuals staying at their accommodation over the holidays.
Free Laundry Services over Christmas
For many of the guests staying at Crisis at Christmas accommodation’s, the simple act of wearing clean clothes can be transformative. It’s more than just fresh fabric—it’s about dignity, comfort, and the feeling of being cared for. These small gestures are often the first steps toward rebuilding self-esteem and hope for the future.
Matt Connelly, CEO of ihateironing, reflects on the impact: “We’re proud to be offering our free laundry services once again to Crisis at Christmas to support the remarkable work they’re doing. Cleaning guests’ clothes, especially during the holiday season, isn’t just about the clothes themselves. It’s about being able to contribute to a journey of positive change, giving guests the dignity they deserve to wear their favourite items after they’ve been professionally cared for.”
Ian Richards, Head of Crisis at Christmas, also shared this sentiment: “Being able to wear your favourite clothes, clean and fresh, might seem small, but for our guests, it can be the moment everything begins to change. It’s a step toward feeling valued, supported, and ready for a new chapter.”
