}}Orange Sky Laundry is a charity based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia that offers a free mobile laundry service for the homeless. It was established on 4 September 2014[1] and began operations on 10 October 2014.[2] In January 2016 its founders, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett, were awarded joint Young Australians of the Year for their social entrepreneurship.[3]

Background

Marchesi describes himself and Patchett as "two normal everyday blokes who had a crazy idea".[4] They had previously volunteered at food vans and other outreach programs while still at school, and had a passion to help the homeless. Their idea "started as a fun test project — to see if it would work. From there, it took a life of its own.”[5] They took the name for their service from the Alexi Murdoch song "Orange Sky", which is about lending a hand to those in need.[6]

Orange Sky Laundry is a government registered charity.[1] The service is believed to be a world first.[4]

In February 2015, five months after they started with the first van in Brisbane in October 2014,[7] and two weeks after their expansion into Cairns, Cyclone Marcia hit the central Queensland coast and the then 20-year-olds headed to the area to offer their free service to affected communities.[8] Similarly, in January 2016, they travelled to Victoria to provide laundry services to people affected by the Great Ocean Road bushfires.[9]

The laundry vans filled a service gap and not only offered clean clothes and blankets but also dignity. Marchesi says the human connections enabled to the isolated is the most important aspect of their initiative.[10] Each van also carries six orange chairs. During the time the laundry is being washed and dried in the vans, the volunteers sit and socialise with the visitors.[11]

Expansion

Orange Sky began operating its second van (in Cairns) by February 2015,[12] and its third in Melbourne in June.[13] Their first birthday, and World Homeless Day 2015,[2] were celebrated with a new service in south east Victoria, funded by partners The Good Guys[14] (who provided half of the funding for the van[15]), the Jelley Family Foundation, and the Bennelong Foundation.[2] Other vans began operating in Sydney in November 2015,[6][16] Gold Coast in January 2016,[17] Perth in February 2016,[18][19] Adelaide in March 2016,[20][21] Sunshine Coast in April 2016,[10] Canberra in April 2016,[20][22][23] and Hobart in July 2016.[24]

By July 2016, Orange Sky had 10 vans and 600 volunteers, and were estimated to be washing nearly six tonnes of laundry each week.[25] They now have 13 vans servicing 121 locations with over 800 volunteers.[26] {{As of|September 2016}} there are services in all Australian states plus the Australian Capital Territory.[1] They have plans to expand to the US.[27]

Awards

On Australia Day 2016, the two co-founders were jointly named Young Australians of the Year.[28] In their acceptance speeches after being announced as winners by the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, Patchett said "we can restore respect, raise health standards and be a catalyst for conversation". Marchesi continued "It's so crazy and humbling to think such a simple idea has had such a significant impact".[29]

In June 2016 they were invited to Frankfurt, Germany to receive a Global Best Practices Award: Special Award for Corporate Social Responsibility.[30]

In October 2018, Orange Sky was given the People's Choice Award in the Google Impact Challenge Australia[31].

Orange Sky Showers

On 23 August 2016, Orange Sky launched a new mobile service: free hot showers for the homeless.

One of the homeless to first try the shower van described it as "bloody awesome".[32] The first van is being trialled in Brisbane, but will then be permanently moved to Melbourne as it was funded by the Shine On Foundation which is based in Melbourne.[33]
