£280 and rising — why your gift matters

When SHAX first launched starter packs, a single pack cost around £150. Today it is £280 or more — driven by inflation, energy costs, and the quality of essentials we refuse to compromise on.
Despite that pressure, packs remain 100% free to clients. There is no invoice at the door — only practical help when referrals arrive from councils, housing associations, health teams, and charities.
Online giving through this site goes straight into that frontline work. If you are a UK taxpayer, please add Gift Aid at checkout so we can stretch every pound further.
