I’m keeping my kit on for The Sudsy Challenge!
I'll be wearing the same set of clothes for three days, shining a light on homelessness and raising funds and awareness to support people doing it tough.
Orange Sky helps to positively connect people doing it tough with access to free laundry, warm showers and genuine conversation.
By participating in The Sudsy Challenge, I will be supporting Orange Sky to ensure they can continue providing their free laundry and shower service to people in need.
Every dollar counts, and I’d love if you could support me as I take on The Sudsy Challenge!

Anonymous donators.
Sunday 12th Sep I would like to give a big thank you to all of the anonymous donators, I don`t know who you are, you do and that is all that is important.
We live on the streets
Friday 3rd Sep
We live on the streets
We are homeless
through no fault of our own
we live in the streets
because that is our home
We are hungry and cold.
And some are quite old
Get a job and a wash
We are often told
People walk past
And don`t even see
The sad and lonely people
Like my friend and me
We sleep on a bench
Or in front of a door
We have nothing to eat
Because we are so poor.
We take handouts
of clothes and food
all from charities who care
whatever kind people can spare.

"The invisibility of homelessness is the invisibility of poverty"".
Tuesday 29th Jun"The invisibility of poverty".
I have been homeless, for quite a while
Having no home has cramped my style
I sit here all alone
With my only friend, the phone
As I sit here I am dismissed
No one even sees that I exist
All I want is for someone to care
With a chat and a coffee to share
I sit here, all alone on the stairs
Waiting for someone, who really cares.

“An ode to our volunteers on Christmas Day”
Tuesday 29th Jun“An ode to our volunteers on Christmas Day”
`Twas the night before Christmas
No washing was done
Then on Christmas morn
There was laughter and fun
Because Orange Sky Laundry
Was doing their run
There were clothes to be washed
And bodies to shower clean
Such a wonderful morning
For our friends on the street
that others have never seen.

Why I volunteer at Orange Sky.
Tuesday 29th Jun I have been volunteering for Orange Sky for over 4 years and over that time I have met some great people, some have been volunteers at Orange Sky, others through other volunteer groups and some of the best have been our homeless friends. ShareThanks to my supporters!
