Who We Are
Our Mission
SHAX is an independent local re-use charity based in Dumfries, Scotland, dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing poverty and homelessness.
Who We Are
Nestled within the scenic Crichton Estate, SHAX provides practical help and essential support to those in crisis, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity. We operate a charity warehouse that sells donated goods to fund our vital services.
What We Do
We provide Home Emergency Starter Packs for people moving into new accommodation after homelessness, crisis support for families in need, and practical assistance throughout Dumfries & Galloway. Through initiatives like our Christmas raffle, we raise additional funds to expand our reach and impact.
Why We Do It
Everyone deserves dignity, support, and a fresh start. We believe in empowering people in need to rebuild their lives through practical help, essential items, and compassionate support. By combining reuse and recycling with direct assistance, we create sustainable solutions that benefit both people and our planet.
