Laundry with love

Kate Blakemore started the charity Motherwell Cheshire, which supports vulnerable women, and operates Edna’s Laundrette, where the locals can do their laundry for free.

Rachel Burden hears from Kate Blakemore who started the charity Motherwell Cheshire, which not only supports women and girls of all ages, but also runs Edna’s Laundrette where the local community can do their laundry for free.

Café Hope is our virtual Radio 4 coffee shop, where guests pop in for a brew and a chat to tell us what they’re doing to make things better in big and small ways. Think of us as sitting in your local café and celebrating the people making the world a better place.

We’re all about trying to make change. It might be a transformational project that helps an entire community, or it might be about trying to make one life a little bit easier. And the key here is in the trying. This is real life. Not everything works, and there are struggles along the way. But it’s always worth a go.
