Please help if you can! We need nappies size 1 to 8, children's toiletries (shampoo, bath/body wash, toothpaste/brushes) & laundry detergent. We know Christmas is soon, but these are needed by those we support. Thank you for thinking of others! #GiftKindness #EndHygienePoverty

For many this is reality. For Christmas, they just want essentials. Please look into your heart & buy a needed gift. For the price of your coffee, or parking, you could donate these 6 essential hygiene items. Even just one of these (start from 25p) will help us #EndHygienePoverty

If we knew we would be pulled into hygiene poverty, we could be prepared. The reality is, any one of us could find ourself in such a situation. One car repair. One lost job. One extra bill. That's all it takes. Please keep talking about Hygiene Poverty this #NationalHygieneWeek💛

Why? 4.2 million adults in the UK struggle to afford basics. Products taken for granted: toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, are only bought if money is left after food & bills. We exist to help #EndHygienePoverty Join us - shine a light on the issue #NHW2025 #paintthetownyellow💛
