I had been making up bags of hygiene products over the winter months from some of the stuff I had sitting in my cupboard, to give to people living on the streets as and when I could. I did it because I didn’t really need these products and felt that the man or woman I saw sitting on the pavement deserved to be able to brush their teeth or shave or change their sanitry pad just as much as any of us.
So when The Hygiene Bank approached me I was delighted to put my efforts behind this powerful growing charity. How could I not? I love being clean. I get it. If that was taken away from me I’d be broken.
