The Hygiene Bank Revenue

About The Hygiene Bank

Hygiene Poverty is a lot closer than you think. 14 million people in the UK live in poverty and 4.5 million of those are children. The Hygiene bank gives hygiene & personal care essentials to those living in poverty in the UK. Who are we? We are a registered charity made possible by volunteers. Driven by a belief that hygiene is not a privilege but a basic right, we encourage each local community to donate products. We then collect, sort and distribute these essential items to those of us that can't afford them via charity, government and voluntary organisations in their local community. Donate local, help local: Each Hygiene Bank is mapped with one or more local beneficiaries so that everything donated stays in the area and helps that local community. Breaking the stigma: Hygiene is about self-confidence along with physical and mental wellbeing. We know lack of access to hygiene products can cause trauma and anxiety in those who are vulnerable. With hygiene poverty comes a social stigma that affects all areas of life; work, school and relationships. Join us in our mission is to tackle hygiene poverty in the UK: We believe no-one should be left struggling to wash their hair, brush their teeth, change their baby's nappy as often as needed or be unable to afford period products because of low wages, high housing costs, benefit cuts, illness, bereavement, redundancy, zero hours contracts or situations like abuse. To donate, please text BASICS to 70085 to donate £5* a month. *Texts cost £5 plus 2 standard rate messages and you’ll be opting in to hear more about our work and fundraising via telephone and SMS.
