We’re Mental Health Cleaning – a tiny team of unpaid volunteers offering one-off, completely free home cleans for people in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas whose mental or physical health makes housework unmanageable.

A clean, calm space can transform someone’s wellbeing – but every clean is self-funded unless supported by donations and sponsorships. 💜

🎄 This December, we’re running a Christmas Raffle to raise funds, and we’re looking for donations of prizes, products, vouchers, or services to make it a success!

👉 Deadline for prize donations: October 31st

In return, we’ll share your business with our amazing community of 3.5k+ followers on Instagram and Facebook (with 80k+ views in the last 28 days!).

Here’s what one of our clients said after their clean:

“I love being able to sit in a room, where for the first time in what seems forever - my eyes do not roam over all the things I need to do. They have brought an inner peace, to still my repetitive inner voice, which berates my inability to undertake the tasks needed to do this myself.”

🌟 If you’d like to donate a prize or support us, please email: mentalhealthcleaningmk@gmail.com

Together, we can change lives – one clean at a time. 💜✨

Wow I can't believe it's been 1 year already! Funny enough I had a Mental Health Alliance meeting today! Went on camera to 23 people in my PJ'S looking absolutely crazy. Postman knocked whilst I was listening to someone responding to me and couldn't turn my camera off even if I wanted to and was trying to sign for a delivery whilst keeping eye contact with the video call but not wanting to be rude to the postman 🤣🤣 Lovely way for new people to meet me in the meeting today 🫠

We are proudly part of the Mental Health Alliance and today we got to attend our first in person meeting 💜
We had the privilege to meet so many amazing organisations that focus on mental health support in Milton Keynes!
It was empowering to meet so many passionate and dedicated individuals that work tirelessly to help those in MK that need support, whether that be the NHS, MKUH, BLMK or LGBTQ organisations and many more 💜

There's still one week left to apply for our free carpet clean giveaway thanks to Carpet Restore 💜💙

💜😇New Monthly Sponsors😇💜

A massive thank you to Dawn & Ami, who are generously donating £5 and £20 every month to support our work. Their kindness and commitment mean the world to us! 🥹

With their monthly support, we can continue offering free cleaning support to people whose mental and physical health makes managing their home environment difficult — especially those who can't afford help otherwise. 🧼🏡

Although our cleans are free for those in need, running Mental Health Cleaning isn’t free — from supplies to transport to admin, every bit adds up. Most of what we do is self-funded, so contributions like this make a real difference.

Our mission goes beyond just tidying up. It’s about breaking the cycle of overwhelm, providing a fresh start, and creating a safe, supportive space for recovery. A clean and organised home can be the first step toward healing, confidence, and self-care.

🌟 Want to help too? You can support us with as little as £5 a month—or more if you’re able! Every penny goes towards helping us reach more people in need and keeps us going strong.

Thank you:
💜 LPA Sparkles – £20 monthly
💜 Dawn – £5 monthly
💜 Anonymous – £5 monthly
💜 Ami - £20 monthly
for helping us change lives one clean at a time! ✨

If you or your business would like to sponsor or support us too, we’d love to hear from you! 💌

💜💜💜 Carpet Restore

🙏 🧽 Mental Health Cleaning Marks 2nd Anniversary with Free Professional Carpet Clean Giveaway for a Local Household 🧽 🙏

Mental Health Cleaning is an unincorporated voluntary group and they will celebrate their second anniversary this October by gifting a free professional carpet clean to a local household in Milton Keynes, thanks to the generous support of partner Carpet Restore.

The initiative is designed to offer a practical “fresh start” to someone who could really use the help, whether paying for a professional clean isn’t possible right now, or replacing carpets simply isn’t affordable.

“A clean, welcoming home can have a real impact on how people feel day to day,” said a spokesperson for Mental Health Cleaning. “With the help of Carpet Restore, we’re proud to mark our 2nd birthday by supporting someone in our community with a service that can make a tangible difference.”

🖊️ How to Apply

Applicants should message Mental Health Cleaning via Facebook (page: Mental Health Cleaning) or email mentalhealthcleaningmk@gmail.com with the following:

- Photos of the carpeted room(s) in your home
- Which room you’d most like cleaned
- Your location (MK area)
- Contact number

Deadline for applications: 30 September

Giveaway fulfilled: October

Mental Health Cleaning extends a heartfelt thank you to Carpet Restore for making this anniversary initiative possible.

💜 An honest update from us… 💜
Right now, our 50 Square fundraiser is really struggling. The goal is to raise £500, with half going to the winner and half supporting Mental Health Cleaning. But after 2 months, we’ve only raised £60. That leaves us with a difficult choice: either continue and give half of that to the winner (leaving very little to fund our work), or cancel and refund everything.

On top of this, one of our monthly sponsorship payments didn’t go through, which sadly means we’ve now lost a sponsor. Regular support like that is what helps keep us going — so it’s been a real setback.

In the last few months alone, we’ve spent £372 on helping people: covering the costs of our free cleans, cleaning products, equipment, and essential operational expenses. Every penny raised goes straight back into the work we do.

We’re a small but dedicated team of just 3 volunteers, all juggling work and family commitments alongside keeping Mental Health Cleaning going. Without someone focused only on fundraising, it’s tough to find the time to plan and organise events.

💡 The good news: our Sponsor a Square fundraiser (which we’ve only run once before, and it was a big success!) will be coming back very soon. That gives us hope. But right now, we’re at a really low point with funds.

✨ How you can help:

• Take part in our current 50 Square fundraiser: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CoqHD7TJR/

• Sponsor us monthly — even a small amount makes a big difference

• Share our posts so more people see them

• Volunteer some time or ideas to help us with fundraising

Every little bit helps us keep going — and every free clean really does change a life 💜
Thank you for standing with us through the ups and downs 🫂

We’d like to give a big thank you to our amazing monthly sponsors whose support helps keep us going:
💜 LPA Sparkles – £20 monthly
💜 Dawn – £5 monthly
💜 Anonymous – £5 monthly
Your contributions make such a difference to what we’re able to do in the community.
We’re always looking for more monthly sponsors, as even small amounts add up and help us cover costs for our cleans and projects. If you’d like to become a monthly sponsor, please get in touch — we’d love to have you on board!

💜 Meet Our New Volunteer Charlie Clark !💜

We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Charlie to our Mental Health Cleaning team! 🌟

She’s already joined us on two cleans and wow what an impact she’s made. Charlie smashes through the day with so much positivity, tackling any challenge that comes her way with incredible energy and determination 💪
Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she’s picked everything up so quickly while delivering such a high standard of cleaning.

Of course, we couldn’t resist asking her to join us officially and we’re so glad she said yes! 🙌
While she won’t be on every single clean, we know that when Charlie says she’ll be there, she’ll show up and give it her all. That kind of reliability and spirit is something truly special.

We’re so excited to have Charlie on the team and can’t wait for more volunteering days together 💜

Please join us in giving her the warmest welcome! 👏👏👏

🌟 Huge thank you to our amazing volunteer Cathy! 🌟

Cathy joined us just over a month ago to help with emails, and honestly, she’s been an absolute godsend. She’s taken on nearly 2 years’ worth of emails, organised everything into folders that actually make sense to how my (Kimmi's) brain works (no small task 😅😅!) and has done such a fantastic job.

It’s such a weight off my shoulders to know I can ask Cathy to respond and it will be handled with professionalism, empathy, and such care. I now know exactly where everything is, which saves me so much time – and I can’t tell you how much of a difference that makes.

She’s so quick and prompt too – I’ve even opened up an email ready to respond, only to see she’s already live on it! Always reaching out if she needs more info, always on top of things.

Cathy, you are bloody amazing, and I am so grateful for everything you’ve done and continue to do 💜👏

💜💌 We’ve got exciting news! 💌💜
A big welcome to Cathy, who’s joining us as a volunteer! 🎉
Cathy will be helping us with our emails from services across Milton Keynes wanting to work with Mental Health Cleaning, to people reaching out for support.
With her background at Community Led Initiatives, Cathy brings heaps of experience in mental health recovery, housing, and community support — so she really understands the needs behind every message. 💜
Thank you, Cathy, for giving your time and skills to help us make a difference! 🙏✨
