Hygiene poverty is a growing yet often overlooked issue affecting children in schools across the UK. It means going without basic hygiene essentials like toothpaste, deodorant, or shower gel—not by choice, but due to financial hardship.
It's estimated that four children in every classroom are experiencing hygiene poverty. This can have a serious impact on their health, social life, and ability to learn. Children who don’t have access to hygiene products may be more likely to miss school, face bullying, or suffer from low self-esteem and confidence.
Our goal is simple: to ensure no child is held back because they lack the basics.
How You Can Help
Whether you’re a business, individual, or community group, your support can make a real difference.
Here’s how far your donation can go:
£20 = 20 cans of deodorant
£40 = 40 bottles of mouthwash
£50 = 50 bottles of shower gel
£100 = 200 toothbrushes
No contribution is too small. Every item helps a child feel valued, respected, and ready to thrive.
