We believe in good for you
Painting is a key part of our community, but there’s much more on offer. The Waterhole also provides practical support, including showers, washing machines, and emergency relief. Our team can help with short-term needs, provide referrals to other support services, or simply offer a safe, friendly place to rest, connect, and enjoy a cup of tea.
Depending on your situation, and what we have available, we also may be able to provide you with vouchers for food, or fuel and help you find emergency accommodation.
If you are experiencing financial hardship or are facing a crisis, contact us to find out how we can support you.
