Fresh Start

Fresh Start is a Christian charity in Edinburgh which seeks to provide practical help to those resettling from homelessness into a new home in the community.

Currie Kirk members are involved in many different ways, the simplest of which is the collection of new and used household goods for ‘Starter Packs’ to go to each new home. So, if you’re Spring cleaning, looking for a home for an unwanted gift or even moving house, don’t dump it – donate it!

Crockery • Cutlery • Pots • Pans • Cooking Utensils • Kettles • Toasters • Basins • Buckets • Dust Pans & Brushes • Blankets • Bed Linen • Curtains • Towels • Children’s Bedding • Mirrors • Clocks • Lamps • Light Bulbs • Soft Furnishings • Cleaning Materials • Toiletries

In fact, we can use anything that helps make a house a home! We need items that are in good working order and re-useable. Very often it is the simple things like toilet rolls, washing-up liquid, polish and other cleaning items that we can’t get hold of. So, the next time you are doing your shopping, why not go for that ‘buy one - get one free’ offer and donate the spare item to someone who really needs it!
