We know that long before people go to a food bank, they stop buying toiletries: hygiene essentials and personal care products such as shampoo, deodorants and toothpaste quickly become out of reach luxuries. The very idea of hygiene poverty is embarrassing and isolating, and affects people's physical and mental wellbeing. Our motivation is simple : to afford everyone their dignity. We could not do this without the kindness of strangers.  Products are donated, collected, sorted and then distributed to our network of community partner organisations who support those of us who are pulled into poverty. Supporting Harborough Hygiene Bank is a simple way to help the many organisations in the area who are tackling a wide range of issues from mental wellbeing to domestic abuse and homelessness. Through your donations and support, we can help to make a real and tangible difference to those in our community struggling with the stigma of hygiene poverty . Thank you.
