FAQs

The Sudsy Challenge is all about raising funds and awareness so that people experiencing homelessness can access free laundry, warm showers, and genuine connections. We ask you to challenge yourself to wear the same clothes for three days, start conversations about homelessness, an raise funds for Orange Sky. By participating in the challenge, you're helping Orange Sky to provide support, care and community for our friends in need.

It took Orange Sky co-founders, Nic and Lucas three days (and three sets of washing machines and dryers) to get their first laundry van, ‘Sudsy’ working. On day three, a friend named Jordan used the free mobile laundry service and taught Nic and Lucas that while clean clothes were important, it was the conversation and connection that mattered more. As such, we thought it was only fitting to hold the Sudsy Challenge over three days. You can learn more here

Of course - what a great idea! The Sudsy Challenge is the perfect activity for businesses and workplaces to get involved. Raising money for an important cause can be really rewarding and a break from the daily grind! Find out more here

Schools are a great place to participate in The Sudsy Challenge! Whether you get your class, year level or the whole school involved, it's a great way to start conversations and help wash away stigmas and perceptions about homelessness. Plus, raising money for an important cause is a great way to teach young people about giving back! Find out more about getting your school involved here

Participants who raise $48 will receive their very own Sudsy t-shirt, but it's totally up to you what you wear over the three challenge days! Choose comfort, style or something completely crazy - the more outrageous the outfit, the more conversations you'll start about why you’re wearing it. Be sure to share your Sudsy outfit with us on socials - tag #thesudsychallenge

You can get your Sudsy Challenge t-shirt by raising $48! Once you've raised your $48, your shirt will be on it's way to you soon. To allow us enough time to post your shirt, we ask that you raise the required funds sooner rather than later.

Look, we don't need to get involved in the finer details of things... We encourage you to set your own rules that you are comfortable with - and remember, The Sudsy Challenge is all about the conversations you start and the funds you raise - more than sticking to any rules.
