The Hygiene Bank is a grassroots, people-powered charity and social movement that aims to address hygiene poverty in our society. They believe that feeling clean should not be a luxury or a privilege, yet many people living in poverty cannot afford basic hygiene products. The Hygiene Bank operates a network of projects that provide access to essential items for those in need.

Hygiene poverty can be isolating and humiliating, impacting overall health and well-being, as well as social interaction. The Hygiene Bank works to inspire social change and support individuals and families who are caught between choices like heating their home, buying food, or staying clean. Their process involves collecting, sorting, and distributing donated personal care and household cleaning essentials to their network of community partners, which include charities, organizations, and schools.

By supporting The Hygiene Bank, you are not only helping one organization but multiple grassroots initiatives across the UK. You can donate new, unused, and in-date items such as deodorant, shower gel, shampoo, nappies, and more. Find your nearest drop-off location or explore their wishlists to donate.

Join the movement and make a difference in the lives of those facing hygiene poverty
