So, who is Sudsy?

The challenge takes its name from ‘Sudsy’, the first ever laundry van built by Orange Sky co-founders, Nic and Lucas. It took them three days and three sets of washing machines and dryers to get Sudsy operating. They hit the streets of Brisbane, and met Jordan, who was the first person to use the free mobile laundry service. Through this experience, Jordan taught Nic and Lucas that while clean clothes were important, it’s the conversation and connection that mattered more.

Meet Cass

For Cass, Orange Sky’s weekly shift isn’t just a chance to do laundry - it’s a moment to feel seen, heard and supported by a community that cares. Cass's journey has been marked by challenges.

Between the toll of health treatments and the rising costs of rent, she lost her home and spent the next year living out of her car. Eventually, she moved into a van, which has been her home ever since. Cass heard about Orange Sky from others who, like her, were living in their vehicles.

They introduced her to the local community centre, where Orange Sky’s bright orange van pulls up every Friday. For Cass, these shifts offer a simple yet profound comfort—clean clothes and a friendly chat. But it’s the sense of belonging that keeps her coming back.

“[Orange Sky] services have been absolutely invaluable. It just turns an ordinary day into something a little bit special. You get treated like part of the family.”
