Fresh Start Charity wins second National Award!
​Fresh Start Charity Founder, Angela Gregg, wins Best Non-Profit Business Leader, recognised for her dedication to empowering vulnerable individuals and fostering long-term social change. Through innovative community programmes, Fresh Start Charity has provided critical resources, skills training, and employment pathways, ensuring sustainable support for those in need.
​​
Back in October 2024, Business Awards UK also recognised the significant work and achievements of Fresh Start Charity in the Youth Services Development category for "Excellence in Mental Health Support".
Angela is delighted to receive both these prestigious Awards on behalf of all the team and volunteers at the Ipswich Shop.
​
Fresh Start Charity works with young adults aged between 16-25, providing them with valuable experience and opportunities to access the world of employment with local businesses. To compliment this project, Angela has also created the Open Heart campaign to help those who are struggling with their mental health. The scheme has already had a positive impact on those who work at the shop, giving them more confidence as well as boosting their self esteem. In the café, staff and customers are encouraged to talk about their issues in a safe environment, without judgement. By wearing the green heart shaped badge, it shows you are someone who is willing to listen. It can make all the difference simply by having a chat, offering support or by pointing someone in the right direction to seek professional advice if needed.
Fresh Start Charity is proud to launch our
Open Heart Campaign to help those who are struggling with their mental health.
