Our latest report shows that 4.2 million adults are currently experiencing hygiene poverty in the UK.

The Hygiene Bank has grown from a belief that basic hygiene is not a privilege. It's not right that feeling clean should be a luxury for anyone in our society, yet many of us are having to make the choice between paying bills, buying food or keeping clean.

Grounded in the community, our local projects work with a range of community partners to identify and respond to the direct needs of those of us experiencing hygiene poverty and struggling to keep clean, through collecting and distributing donated products.

Now, we would like your help in our mission to support those of us in our local communities who would otherwise go without essential hygiene products. To do so, and encourage our half marathon runners to go further, please donate to Team Hygiene Bank.

Thank you and good luck to all our runners!
