Drop your unused and new hygiene products via our dropbox at Boots in Coulsdon

Have you smiled today? Spoken to a friend or family member? Fixed up a social event for the weekend?

A staggering 92% of people who have been pulled into hygiene poverty report that their situations limits their social interactions.

Something as simple as a bottle of shampoo or a pack of period products could put a smile on someone's face, as it shows that they are cared about and valued in society.

Imagine having to choose between shampoo and soup? Between conditioner and bread? For 5.3 million adults in the UK, this is a reality.

That’s the hidden crisis of hygiene poverty. It holds people back from work, and has devastating consequences on people's mental and physical health because they can't access basic hygiene products that many of us take for granted.

But we can change that. The Hygiene Bank and In Kind Direct are joining forces to end hygiene poverty. And you can join the coalition to help us shape the roadmap to end hygiene poverty.

🚨 Soap is not a luxury – it’s a necessity! 🚨Yet, the UK government still taxes it at 20%, while gold bars and lobsters are VAT-free. 🤯

4.2 million adults are struggling to afford hygiene essentials like soap. Soap saves lives. It prevents illness, restores dignity & protects mental health.

It's time for change. Sign the petition to ask the Government to remove VAT on soap: https://bit.ly/4jZClwa
