Myself and 4 running buddies have places in the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 4th October
Whilst doing so , we are raising funds for The Hygiene Bank in Kent.
One of our runners , Colin, has been baking cakes that are available at the end of local Park Run . So far this and other efforts has raised nearly £1000. Over half our target.
4.2 million adults in the UK are living in Hygiene Poverty . Here is how donations directly help .
£3 | Provides a child with toothbrushes for an entire year, helping them stay clean and confident every day. |
| £5 | Supplies shower gel and shampoo for a single mum of two, ensuring she doesn't have to choose between toiletries for herself or nappies for her toddler. |
| £10 | Provides a year’s supply of deodorant for a teenager whose family is struggling, helping them feel confident enough to attend school and focus on exams. |
* Education: School children miss an estimated 23 million days of learning annually purely because they are experiencing hygiene poverty. A £10 donation directly prevents this social isolation for a teenager.
