We’re thrilled to share that the launch of ShowerBox Barking has been featured in the Barking and Dagenham Post! This incredible initiative, a collaborative effort between ShowerBox, Barking and Dagenham Council, and Barking Churches Unite, marks a significant milestone: the UK’s first permanent shower facility specifically designed to support individuals experiencing homelessness.
The article highlights the vital services ShowerBox Barking provides, offering not just hot showers, but also fresh underwear, refreshments, and a safe, welcoming space at the Barking Learning Centre. We’re incredibly grateful for the Barking and Dagenham Post’s coverage, which helps raise awareness about the critical need for hygiene and dignity among those facing homelessness.
This project, made possible by the Barking and Dagenham health inequalities programme, is a testament to the power of community collaboration. At ShowerBox, we believe everyone deserves access to basic sanitation, and we’re proud to be part of making that a reality in Barking.
