For the fourth consecutive year, The Hygiene Bank is partnering with Unilever and Boots to support and raise awareness of hygiene poverty across the UK.
With over 4.2 million people living in hygiene poverty, the partnership aims to ensure that essential hygiene, personal care, and household cleaning products are accessible to those who need them.
Until the 27 August, customers purchasing hygiene essentials from participating brands at Boots, including Dove, Tresemme, Sure, Lynx, Radox, Shea Moisture, Simple, and Vaseline, will trigger a donation from Unilever. Unilever has committed to donating a minimum of 300,000 products to The Hygiene Bank during this period.
“We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from Unilever and Boots,” said Ruth Brock, CEO of The Hygiene Bank. “Everyone deserves to feel clean and this partnership allows us to reach even more individuals in need and spread awareness about the importance of hygiene in maintaining dignity and wellbeing which comes with feeling clean. We believe that hygiene poverty is a problem we can solve together.”
Chris Barron, General Manager of Unilever Personal Care UKI, added: “We are really proud to be partnering with The Hygiene Bank and Boots for another year, continuing to support The Hygiene Bank and the critical support they provide to families and communities across the UK. We know that together we can do more, and we hope to continue to reach new milestones in donations and support.”
The partnership with Unilever and Boots has already delivered 1.5 million products over the last four years to those who need them.
