New Beginnings (Reading)
We run all day cafes, provide drinks and hot meals and run a community fridge. We can also provide toiletries, tents and sleeping bags. We are able to help with a laundry service and also have a shower on site.

New Beginnings are a homeless charity based in Reading. They are one of the organisations who are able to salvage the camping equipment and other items left after Reading festival, to help support their guests. The equipment they collect after the festival can help support hundreds of people into the winter.

We have been asked to help with sorting and storing these donations.

There may be other tasks to do, such as organising donations of food and toiletries for their larder.

How are you getting there?
