Deep Clean

With the Mission being open every day of the year we struggle to keep the very high standards of cleanliness and hygiene needed in our kitchens. Of course everyday ends with a thorough clean, but it needs more.

On a regular basis we need to strip everything out of the kitchen, leaving just bare walls and ceiling and then to even take them down, clean it all and put it back.

This is a huge undertaking that requires many man hours, and we don't want to interrupt the service we offer to the homeless. The only way is the "Whitechapel Deep Clean". A challenge day requiring many volunteers to assist us strip the kitchen, clean every item thoroughly and put it all back within 6 hours, and we cannot start until 11am.

We need your help and we need it now!

We need to do the same for the dining area, the toilets and the showers.

We want volunteering at Whitechapel to be fun, rewarding and challenging.


Since 1876, The Whitechapel Mission has been called to serve the men and women caught in the cycles of poverty,
hopelessness and dependencies of many kinds, and to see their lives transformed to hope, joy and lasting productivity.
