All donations will help redirect toiletries away from landfill, and into the hands of those in need
About the Cause
Toiletries Amnesty is a social, ethical and environmental organisation that makes access to hygiene essentials easy for those in need, while stopping masses of surplus products from going to waste.
In 2022 alone, we provided access to toiletries to over 2.95 million people across the UK and around the world. We do this via our network of 600+ charitable organisations, including homeless shelters and hostels, women’s refuges, mental health services, end of life care hospices, food banks, NHS Trust services, cancer patients support, refugee support services, LGBTQ+ groups, prison services and children’s centres.
The cost of living crisis has had a devastating impact not only for those already experiencing hygiene poverty, but has also forced thousands more into facing the choice between heating their home, buying food or purchasing essential hygiene products.
Our work involves diverting vast quantities of beauty industry waste and plastic from landfill and incineration sites through donations of surplus and unwanted products from individuals and corporate donors, directly into the hands of those in need. This year alone, over £1.25 million worth of products avoided landfill through our efforts.
