What’s involved Our partnerships are completely tailored to make sure we’re providing consistent and accessible services in areas of need. Clean laundry Warm showers Genuine conversations Partner Testimonials Set Free Care "Orange Sky has been a great partner with Set Free Care for many years. Initially we have had the van come twice a week, but with the pods on site the services have increased to three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Orange Sky is a vital service for our guests who come to our hub for meals and showers. The teams are amazing to engage with and the partnership is invaluable to our community."
