With 4.2 million people in the UK unable to afford hygiene basics, they are having to make difficult choices between buying food or hygiene basics like toothpaste or washing up liquid. Your kindness can be life-changing – did you know that just £15 could provide a family of four with cleaning supplies and laundry detergent for a month? That family would then be able to give their children presents, as well as cooking the Christmas lunch!

“This has given so many families a boost that they really needed. They do not prioritise deodorant or shampoo as a priority, when they have no money anyway. This has taken lots of pressure from our families, especially at Christmas.”

How can you get involved:

- Shower Someone with Kindness: Perform a simple act of kindness

- Capture the Moment: Take a photo and share it on your social media channels

- Spread the Word: Tag @thehygienebank and use the hashtags #ShowerPeopleWithKindness and #GiveSomeoneAFreshStart
