Story
At the Hygiene Bank Doncaster we believe that everyone deserves to feel clean and yet 4.2m people in the UK are living in hygiene poverty and cannot afford to buy essentials like shampoo or toothbrushes to stay clean.
Since we began in 2019, we have distributed 190 tonnes of essential hygiene and cleaning products.
In 2023 alone, we supported over 45,000 individuals in over 14,000 households across Doncaster.
We couldn’t do this without our volunteers, who collect, pack and distribute the donated hygiene products to over 60 local community partners organisations, including food banks, schools, homeless shelters and other charities and community services.
We need your help, the cost-of-living crisis is pushing more people into hygiene poverty and we need to raise vital funds to make sure people living in Doncaster have access to essential hygiene products.
Donate £15 and help an individual receive a care package with all the basics for three months
£30 will provide a new mum and her baby a care pack to get her started
