Leaving care with dignity

Many care leavers move into accommodation with little more than the clothes they stand in. Referrals come from housing teams and support workers who know SHAX can respond quickly.

Packs include the practical items most of us take for granted — kettle, microwave-safe cookware, bedding, towels, and hygiene basics — so no one has to choose between eating and buying a duvet.
