This year, our chosen charity for 2026 is the Luton Hygiene Bank a dedicated volunteer-run organisation that provides vital support to families in Luton.

They supply essential hygiene products such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, laundry detergent and sanitary products. Hygiene Bank brings communities, businesses and thought leaders together to tackle hygiene poverty by giving access to products and being a voice for change. No child or family should go without basics in their household.

Hygiene Bank challenge injustice - It’s not right that anyone should experience hygiene poverty, they take action by raising awareness to drive meaningful change.

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

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

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

To support them, our aim is to raise £25,000 this year, which will fund multiple pallets of hygiene products to support more people in Luton.
