Pharmacy sanitary and toiletries collection

“Hygiene is the basic level of care needed to feel clean, confident, and comfortable enough to engage fully in life”- The Hygiene Bank.

Why are we running this campaign?

Across the country people continue to feel the pinch of the rising cost of living, resulting in a greater reliance on external support networks. During this time, the most vulnerable people within society will again be at the forefront of our minds. A lack of access to basic hygiene products caused by circumstance or finances has led to our focus being on the collection of sanitary items and toiletries within all our pharmacy branches.

What are we doing?

Dump bin collection points have been placed within all of our pharmacy branches. Customers are able to donate items directly to the collection bins, which will then go to that store’s assigned charity. We’re supporting a range of group such as hygiene banks, domestic abuse services, homelessness support and foodbanks. The charities for each store have been chosen due to their proximity, so that the impact is being felt first hand in their local communities. We are pleased to announce that we will be supporting a total of 16 different charities throughout this campaign.

“Hygiene is not a privilege and should be accessible to everyone”- The Hygiene Bank.
