It’s Ribbon Cutting Time!

Founder Rachel Miller thanks Van Henry from Castle Cavendish and Ward Councillor for Nottingham City Council, Shuguftah Quddoos, for their support of Mesopotamia.

Van acknowledges the importance of personal and domestic hygiene. He represents Castle Cavendish who have funded the machines that will allow people in need, including homeless people and rough sleepers, to wash their clothing, bedding etc for free.

Shuguftah spoke of how this laundry not only gives people in need dignity but also and a sense of belonging to a community with the overall support offered at Mesopotamia.

Rachel invited Shuguftah to cut the ribbon with her words, “Long may she (the machines!) wash”.

The Build – The Final!

With the support of members of the United Service Lodge 4068 in Nottinghamshire the above space was transformed. Click below to see a five minute overview (using a time lapse camera) and the reason why Mesopotamia deserves our help. A few pounds goes a long way as you can see from their website.

The shed build is nearing completion!

Regular readers will know that volunteers from the Nottinghamshire 4068 United Service Lodge have been regularly giving up their Saturdays to build a much needed shed to store food and essentials they buy in and distribute to local people in need. The build has been progressing and we have been sharing time lapse videos to illustrate their progress. Here is the latest (and maybe the last?) for you to enjoy.
