It's easy to donate personal care and household cleaning products to a family in hygiene poverty.

Toothpaste, a pack of nappies, laundry detergent or shower gel can make a huge difference to someone in need - helping a child to go to school with clean teeth and uniform, or giving your neighbour the confidence to go out and see their family it's very easy.  

With the support of The Hygiene Bank, we enable our service users to keep clean, promote their self confidence and personal dignity. It makes such a difference to so many people.
