The Hygiene Bank Portsmouth

At The Hygiene Bank, we believe it is not right that feeling clean should be a luxury or a privilege for anyone in our society, yet 4.2 million adults in the UK are living in hygiene poverty and cannot afford to stay clean.

The Hygiene Bank Portsmouth proudly runs its local hub from Havelock Community Centre.

Led by Project Coordinator Amy Feist, who is also the Centre Manager at Havelock, the project works alongside a dedicated team of volunteers to collect, sort, and distribute new, unused hygiene products.

These donations help support our community partners across Portsmouth, ensuring access to everyday essentials with dignity and care.

You can support THB Portsmouth by donating new, unopened hygiene items to Havelock Community Centre reception, Monday - Friday, 9am - 1pm (Excluding bank holidays)
