Making a difference to hygiene poverty with The Hygiene Bank


The entire Vivactive ethos is based on providing the best possible incontinence products at the lowest possible price. We truly want to make a difference in the lives of people living with incontinence, and we understand that not everyone can afford the items they need. We feel that every person experiencing incontinence deserves to live with dignity, security, and comfort. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to partner with The Hygiene Bank, a charity dedicated to tackling hygiene poverty across the UK.
 
In just the first three months of our partnership, our amazing customers have raised over £5,000, helping to provide essential hygiene products to people and families in need. This incredible achievement highlights the power of collective action and the generosity of our customers.

What is hygiene poverty?

Hygiene poverty affects 4.2 million people in the UK. It’s a term used to describe people without access to basic essentials like soap, shampoo, deodorant, and incontinence products. For many, this makes their life really difficult and can contribute to confidence issues and health problems.
 
Imagine if you had to choose between buying food or buying hygiene essentials. Nobody should have to do that, yet this is the reality for so many. By supporting The Hygiene Bank, we’re helping to ensure that more people have access to the products they need to live with dignity and confidence.

How our customers are making a big difference

Our partnership with The Hygiene Bank wouldn’t be possible without you, our amazing customers. Every time people shop with us, they have the option to donate a small amount at checkout. These donations may seem small individually, but together, they have the power to make an enormous impact. In fact, they already have. In just three months, you’ve raised an incredible £5000. 

 

Ruth Brock, CEO at The Hygiene Bank, shared her gratitude:

“I am so grateful to Vivactive and their customers for joining The Hygiene Bank in the fight against hygiene poverty. Partnerships like this are crucial in helping us extend our reach and provide basic hygiene products to more people across the UK. The support from Vivactive and their customers is a shining example of how businesses can make a positive impact in the lives of many.”

We’re committed to positive change

We are committed to supporting causes that matter, and this partnership just feels like a natural extension of our mission: to help people feel confident and secure without paying over the odds.

“We are immensely proud to support The Hygiene Bank in their vital work to end hygiene poverty in the UK. Hygiene poverty is an issue that affects millions, and this partnership allows us, along with our incredible customers, to give back to the community in a meaningful way.”The Vivactive Team
