A mission to end hygiene poverty

At Beauty Banks, we believe every body is a somebody

Imagine starting your day without basics like soap, shampoo or toothpaste. This is hygiene poverty - and for millions of people in the UK, it’s a bleak reality. 

At Beauty Banks we believe that being clean is essential to health, confidence and dignity.

We work with charities, businesses and individuals to support those in need by providing them with essential personal care items. Together, we want to end hygiene poverty across the UK.

Our latest campaign

In summer 2024, 3 million children across Britain faced the risk of going hungry and families struggling with food costs often couldn’t afford essentials like toothpaste, shampoo and deodorant.

Through the Stay Fresh Appeal, Beauty Banks raised funds to distribute wellbeing kits packed with essential hygiene products, via a UK-wide network of over 500 charities, schools and libraries.

Our campaign was so well received that we kept it going! If you’d like to buy someone a Stay Fresh pack, click here.
