Your gift in action

SHAX is an independent re-use charity based in Dumfries, providing free Emergency Home Starter Packs with kitchen essentials, bedding, hygiene items and more to people facing poverty and homelessness.

  • Emergency Home Starter Packs for people moving into new accommodation after homelessness
  • Kitchen essentials, bedding, cleaning products and hygiene items to help families set up a new home
  • Practical support for families across Dumfries & Galloway

Moving into our new home after being homeless, the starter pack from SHAX meant we could actually start living again. It was more than just items — it was hope.
