Our services

At MimiCares, we provide practical support and create opportunities that help people feel seen, supported and connected. Our services respond to real needs within our communities, particularly for people experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, food insecurity and social exclusion.

Helping people move from crisis to confidence, and from survival to flourishing.

Fresh Start Laundry and Community Initiative

Restoring dignity, one fresh start at a time.

Fresh Start Laundry is our first upcoming initiative, created in response to a gap we identified in practical support for people experiencing homelessness and financial hardship.

Access to clean clothes and laundry facilities is something many of us take for granted. For someone without stable accommodation or sufficient financial resources, it can be difficult to access.

Fresh Start Laundry aims to provide access to free laundry support, helping people maintain personal hygiene, feel more comfortable and experience the dignity of having clean, fresh clothing.

Fresh Start Laundry and Community Initiative also offers a social dimension, bringing people together in the community hub while they access the free laundry service. During their time with us, people can enjoy free food, connect and socialise with others, and spend time in a welcoming environment designed to foster connection, reduce social isolation and build a sense of belonging.

Hot Meals & Essentials

We provide practical support to people experiencing food insecurity and financial hardship.

This includes hot meals, food support, clothing, care packages and essential items, helping people meet immediate needs with dignity and compassion.

We believe practical support matters — and that the way it is provided matters too.

Free Grooming

We work with barbers, beauty professionals and volunteers to provide free grooming services to people who may not otherwise be able to access them.

A haircut, grooming session or moment of self-care can make a meaningful difference to someone’s confidence and how they feel about themselves.

For us, grooming is not simply about appearance. It is about dignity, confidence and feeling cared for.

Community Events

Our community events create welcoming spaces where people can eat, connect, have fun and feel part of their community.

Our events can include food, grooming, clothing, care packages, fun activities, music, conversations and opportunities to connect with local organisations and services.

We create opportunities for families, people experiencing homelessness, older people who may be experiencing loneliness, and others within our community to come together, build relationships and experience a sense of belonging.

Because sometimes, having somewhere to go, someone to talk to and people to connect with can make a meaningful difference.

Wellbeing & Health Support

We recognise that wellbeing is connected to every part of our lives.

Through partnerships with relevant organisations and professionals, we aim to connect people with health, wellbeing and support services that can help them look after their physical, emotional and social wellbeing.

Our role is to help make support more accessible and ensure people know where they can turn for help.

Skills, Mentoring & Employment

We want to help people build the confidence, skills and opportunities they need to take their next steps.

Through mentoring, workshops, skills-sharing, personal development and employment-focused support, we aim to help people recognise their strengths, develop practical skills and explore pathways towards volunteering, employment and greater independence.

Our Community Skills Exchange will also create opportunities for people to share what they know while learning from others.

As these services develop, we will work with relevant organisations, professionals and employers to create meaningful opportunities for people to move forward.
