Harborough’s Hygiene Bank Launches Christmas Appeal

The Hygiene Bank in Market Harborough has launched a Christmas appeal to help people suffering hygiene poverty.

It is part of the charity’s ‘its in the bag’ campaign, to support families struggling to pay for everyday items like shampoo, deodorant and shaving gear.

People are encouraged to fill a bag with toiletries or drop off individual items at collection points at Sainsburys and the Co-op in Market Harborough town centre.

Extra items like makeup, nail varnish, or skincare products are also needed, so a little ‘treat’ can be provided to people who receive support from the service.

Louise Smith is a volunteer at the town’s Hygiene Bank and told Hfm more about the appeal:
