Our Principles

Belief

Basic hygiene is not a privilege

Vision

That one day everyone living in the UK will have access to essential hygiene products

Mission

The Hygiene Bank is the charity that exists to end hygiene poverty in the UK. 

Powered by our volunteers in local communities, and the reach of our national brand partners, we deliver essential hygiene and personal care products to those who need them the most.  

At the same time, we’re driving change, raising awareness, challenging stigma and influencing policy - because we believe everyone deserves to feel clean.  

Values

We challenge injustice: It’s not right that anyone should experience hygiene poverty. We take action by raising awareness to drive meaningful change.

We foster wellbeing: Everyone deserves to be able to care for themselves and their families. We know access to hygiene products is key to anyone's health and wellbeing.

We are compassionate: We stand alongside those in crisis. Our purpose is to ensure no one is held back from participating in society because of hygiene poverty.

We are community: We believe in building stronger, resilient communities by working together to shape a more just society.
