THE HYGIENE BANK – HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED

Donate to our Christmas campaign #ITSINTHEBAG – Give the gift of dignity

1. How do I contribute?

Choose a bag you no longer use that is in a giftable condition – handbag, rucksack, tote, shopper etc. (The bag needs to be secure so the items do not fall out. No plastic or paper bags please.)

2. Who is this for?

Decide if your #ITSINTHEBAG recipient is going to be a man or a woman. Add a label.

3. What goes in the bag?

Ask yourself what would someone in crisis need? Chances are they need the same personal care and hygiene products that you do – from a toothbrush to a hairbrush – so pack your bag full of useful things and little luxuries that are relevant for your chosen recipient. Add a thoughtful note or Christmas card and show them that someone cares.

4. When can I make the donation?

Please donate your #ITSINTHEBAG gift throughout the month of November at your local drop off point or participating school.​

Haven’t got an unwanted bag at home? Why not pop along to your local charity shop and buy a bag as part of the gift?
