Beauty Banks exists to end hygiene poverty in the UK. We take surplus personal care products from the beauty industry, donations from the general public and a mix of essential products purchased by Beauty Banks. We then sort and deliver these toiletries to around 450 frontline charities, community groups, schools and prisons. In doing this toiletries that would have gone to waste are reaching vulnerable people or those who simply cannot afford to buy personal care products.
What does the opportunity involve doing?
