Our Mission

To provide a free and safe shower experience for individuals experiencing homelessness, both visible and hidden within our community. This initiative aims to empower individuals to:

Maintain Good Personal Hygiene

Being powerless to maintain personal hygiene compromises mental and physical well-being and exacerbates feelings of inadequacy.

Build Confidence and Motivation

Being clean and warm can help create a feeling of confidence and motivation, feelings essential for creating positive change.

Stop the Spread of Disease

By providing a place to wash ShowerBox helps stop the spread of preventable, debilitating diseases which costs the NHS millions each year.

Help us bring dignity to those experiencing homelessness

There are several ways you can help ShowerBox. We are always looking for volunteers to help at our weekly showers as well as those with skills which could help us grow.
