Due to financial constraints, hygiene poverty refers to the lack of access to essential hygiene products, such as soap, sanitary pads, and toiletries. This issue is a significant aspect of broader poverty and social inequality, impacting not just physical cleanliness but also mental well-being, social inclusion, and overall health. Hygiene poverty can lead to shame, social isolation, and a loss of confidence, particularly affecting vulnerable groups like women and children.
Items are donated, gathered, organized, and then distributed to our network of community allies—comprising a variety of organizations, charities, and schools—that assist those affected by poverty.
Supporting W4WE.ORG.Uk is an easy way to contribute not just to one group, but to numerous grassroots efforts across the UK, addressing a spectrum of challenges from poverty to domestic violence and disability.
We welcome donations of new, unopened, and in-date personal care and household cleaning products. This includes items like deodorant, shower gel, shampoo, cosmetics, nappies, toilet paper, laundry detergent, and surface cleaners. If you need and use these items, someone else does too.
Discover how you can contribute by donating at your nearest drop-off location or through our online Wishlist.
