The poorest members of our society are bearing the brunt of the economic fallout of the coronavirus outbreak, with the most vulnerable to the pandemic the worst affected, a recent review by the Social Metrics Commission has revealed. #EndHygienePoverty

This week is #mentalhealthawarenessweek & the theme this year is #Kindness.

We know that #HygienePoverty has a crippling effect on self esteem and confidence, which directly impacts mental health wellbeing.

Please #MakeADifference #SpreadKindness 💛

Hygiene products are not just a handout but a hand up. These basics empower confidence, enabling people to take the necessary steps to move forward in their life. To make a donation or get involved go to the link in our bio. #Dignity #TheHygieneBank #HygienePoverty

💛Working with The Hygiene Bank Plymouth allows us to also add everyday essential toiletries in our crisis food packs. The link between food and hygiene insecurity is evident, and to be able to offer both in one pack makes a real difference to anyone receiving our support.💛

During the first two weeks of the pandemic, our community partner The Trussell Trust experienced a record 81% increase in need, and a 122% increase in food parcels for children, in their network, compared to the same period in 2019. #ItsNotOk #covid19

[thehygienebank @thehygienebank]

Today every state-funded school and college in England is entitled to free period products. But this is just one sector of the menstruating population and so we remain just as committed to ensuring all those outside of education, have access to these necessary basics too!

[thehygienebank @thehygienebank]

Fact: multi-award winning brand @heygirlsuk tackles period poverty by giving a girl or woman one pack of products for every pack you buy. Partnering with #HeyGirls ensures #TheHygieneBank is never low on stock for period products.

Don’t be too quick to stick unwanted toiletries and make-up in the back of a cupboard. Donate then to #TheHygieneBank and we'll give them to those in need. #MakeADifference #Hygienepoverty
