Make content about: Amy set up a hygiene project
Amy saw people in Portsmouth forced to choose between hygiene items and food, so she started a project to help.
This story
Working at a community centre in Portsmouth, Amy saw visitors struggle with the stigma and cost of basic hygiene items. In 2024, she launched a local branch of The Hygiene Bank, bringing on volunteers and securing donation points with local businesses. Her team now collects essentials and delivers them to neighbourhood food larders and pantries.
