Lorna Harris is crowdfunding
Weʼre raising £500 to purchase basic toiletries to support our charity partners, as our usual donation boxes are closed and our need for product is great

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

24 days agoWe have beaten our target but we would still be very grateful for additional sums as, given your huge generosity, we have since taken on trying to look after the many, many families (we are talking many 100s) in Luton who need our help. Please do support us if you can. This money will only be used to purchase the toiletries that are needed. Thank you
