The Hygiene Bank North Devon

Aim

To purchase essential hygiene items for those in our community experiencing financial difficulties so are unable to afford such basic items.

We want to bring our community together to tackle hygiene poverty by providing essential products to those of us locked in poverty. 

Basic hygiene is about dignity. 

Imagine not being able to wash your hair, brush your teeth, change your baby's nappy or afford sanitary protection.  This is happening to people today for a variety of reasons:  low wages, high housing costs, benefit cuts, illness or bereavement. 

Hygiene poverty is shaming, excluding and isolating and the work of the Hygiene Bank directly benefits those in crisis. 

Help us to help those in hygiene poverty. As a newly established branch we are needing to raise funds to buy these essential products to enable our community partners to get the much needed hygiene and cleaning products to those most in need.

We hope to build enough stock to ensure that we can provide a constant, reliable supply of product to help stamp out hygiene poverty and with your help we can succeed in making this a reality. Our products include toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, nail clippers, soap, deodorant, cleaning products, hair brushes and much more.
