raised of £500 target by 53 supporters

    Story

    14.5 million people live in poverty (many of whom are in work) and with over 1 million signed up to Universal Credit since the outbreak of COVID-19, this number is looking to increase. The Hygiene Bank collect new toiletries and donate to those in need so that they can be clean and feel the best they can in trying circumstances. Its about giving someone dignity. Having to choose between eating, paying for heating and being clean should not be a choice that one should be required to make.

      Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to us via Just Giving over the last 6 months. We have beaten our target 3 times over, incredible !! Your money has allowed us to top up our physical donations and enabled us to help even more people. The generosity, through Just Giving and the Easho/Amazon wishlists, has been awesome. We have given out nearly 7.5 tonnes of product and are about to embark on the new school year hoping to help even more families in need. We now have Boots boxes opening near you so please donate there if you can.

      So far in July we have given out 1 tonne of toiletries (7 tonnes since COVID began - all to people in need here in our local area). We have been making up bags for all the families that the schools have told us are in need across Harpenden and St Albans. Now, we would like to try to support some of the children in Luton over the summer too. Nearly 50% of school age children who live in Luton are being brought up in poverty - that's approx 17,000 children. We would be so grateful for your donations to help us do this. Thank you in advance.

    What is crowdfunding?

    Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

    The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

    Great people make things happen

    Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

    Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
