In November 2024 The Hygiene Bank, Tamworth celebrated 5yrs of work in our town. We are still a small group of only 6 volunteers (and would welcome more), but the amazing support from our parishoners has enabled us to supply hundreds of local individuals and families with essential items at times of hardship. We have also continued to provide many local primary schools with twice termly supplies of hygiene products which they can distribute to the families that they know will benefit.
We rely on trusted partnerships with many local agencies, churches, schools, CAB, H.O.T, Food Pantry, Food Bank who may make referrals to us and who also provide discreet collection points for recipients.
Below is a summary of the way you have helped so many and in so many ways:
Individual Financial Donations.
Online Purchasing through ‘ For the Common Good’
