Giving Back to the Heart of Newport: Our Commitment to Community
Why Giving Back is So Important to Me
My commitment to corporate social value is not a box-ticking exercise; it is a genuine reflection of my personal values.
As a local family-run business, I have experienced the power of community support firsthand. The warmth and encouragement I have received, particularly from the Glasllwch School community in relation to our son, have been invaluable. It is this spirit of togetherness and mutual support that I want to foster through my business.
I believe that by investing in our community, we all thrive. A stronger, more supported community benefits everyone, and I am proud to play a part in building a better Newport for all.
Our Philosophy: More Than Just a Service
At Pressed & Fresh Ltd, we are more than just a laundry and ironing service; we are a proud member of the Newport and wider South Wales community.
We believe that a successful local business has a responsibility to give back to the community that supports it.
This principle of corporate social value is at the core of our identity, driving us to make a positive impact where we can.
Our commitment is personal, born from our own experiences and a deep-seated desire to support our neighbours.
Supporting Our Future: Sponsorship of Glasllwch School PTA
We are honoured to be a proud sponsor of the Glasllwch School PTA.
The school holds a very special place in our hearts, as it has provided incredible support for our adopted son. Witnessing firsthand the dedication and nurturing environment the school and its community provide has inspired us to contribute to their continued success.
Our sponsorship helps the PTA in their fundraising efforts, which in turn provides better resources and opportunities for all pupils.

A Fresh Start: Donating Washes to Those in Need
A simple act of kindness can make a world of difference. That's why we regularly donate our professional washing and ironing services to individuals and families facing challenging circumstances.
We understand that clean clothes can provide a sense of normalcy and dignity during difficult times. We offer this support to:
- People who have recently moved and are getting settled.
- People who identify as financially vulnerable.
- Families whose washing machines have broken down.
By offering a helping hand, we hope to lighten the load for our fellow community members when they need it most.
We regularly review Facebook posts to locate individuals who'd benefit from our service but if you want to nominate someone you can do it here and we will reach out to them
Partnering with Local Charities
We are committed to supporting the fantastic work that local charities do across Newport. We regularly donate gift cards and vouchers for our services to be used in raffles, auctions, and as direct support for their beneficiaries.
Want to request our support? Get in touch!
We will do our best to support as many requests as possible, but please note that we can't offer vouchers to all and will prioritise requests that align with our community value.
A Thank You to Our Community Heroes: Blue Light Card Discount
To show our immense gratitude to those who serve our community tirelessly, we are proud to offer a 15% discount to all Blue Light Card holders.
This is our small way of saying thank you to the dedicated members of the NHS, Emergency Services, and Armed Forces for their unwavering commitment.
