Hello everybody. We hope you are well and enjoying the good weather. We have made a small increase to our prices - this will be the first time in 5 years - and is effective from today Monday 1st March 2021.

We are still here to help you with all your laundry needs. Opening times remain the same but we are only operating a drop off and pick up service. Customers can no longer wait in the laundrette. We hope you, your families and friends are keeping safe and well.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well. For those of you who I haven't met yet, my name is Amy and I am the volunteer coordinator of Caring Hands Charity. I'm here for any and all of your questions, concerns or chat.

I'm writing this message as we urgently need a volunteer for our Community Laundrette based in Shieldfield, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Our lovely Brian is swamped and really needs some help as soon as possible.

The main duties of this role will be:

• loading washing machines and driers
• folding clothes
• some cash handling
• record keeping

Please be advised that this is expected to be a busy role and you will need to be able to carry bags of clothes and be on your feet for your shift.

Whatever time you can offer will be fantastic, so if you have some free time on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, please get in touch!

Thank you all for your time, we really appreciate you.

Normal opening hours here at the Caring Hands Laundrette over the Easter Break. Please note we have had to limite service washes due to staff/volunteer shortages.

Hello Everyone. We are pleased to confirm that we are open again. We will need everyone to follow the social distancing guidelines please. During this period, we will have mininal staffing so are only offering a wash and dry service. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a folding service or supplies of washing powder/conditioner/colour catchers etc so please bring your own. Other than that it's business as usual. We look forward to seeing you. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

The laundrette will now be closed until further notice. Stay safe and healthy and we hope to see you again soon.
