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.

Over 14 million people in the UK live in poverty (source: Social Metrics Commission), and regularly struggle to afford hygiene essentials, having to choose between toiletries and paying for other daily essentials such as food and heating. 

Toiletries Amnesty is a social, ethical and environmental organisation working to create access to hygiene essentials easy for those in need all around the world, while stopping masses of surplus products from going to waste. We were the first organisation in the UK to tackle hygiene poverty and the only directory that allows individuals and businesses to see exactly where their donations are making an impact in their community. 

We work with companies all over the world, creating positive and practical solutions for the problems they have around waste and sustainability, whilst connecting them with communities and consumers who want to see a change for good

Toiletries Amnesty works with homeless shelters and hostels, women and children’s refuges, mental health services, children and families centres, food banks, refugee support groups, NHS Trust services, schools, colleges, prison services, community groups, and other organisations that need our support.

When I arrived at YMCA Wirral I had very few possessions. In my room waiting for me was a welcome pack filled with lots of different toiletries and a few treats. For the first time in ages, I was able to have a hot shower, wash my hair and feel clean and smell good. To think that someone, who doesn’t know me, was kind enough to think of me in my desperate situation was like receiving a warm hug.

As a charity we would never be able to buy products of this quality for our patients and carers. As our patients are all approaching the end of their lives, we do all we can to improve the quality of their lives, receiving such amazingly generous donations helps us to do this. We can’t thank you enough.
The Prince of Wales Hospice
Toiletries aren’t a luxury item they are a necessary item, not being able to feel clean affects a person’s mental health, their general wellbeing. Being able to give families a bag of toiletries that can last a week or a month makes a huge difference to them financially as well as emotionally. The ‘spare’ money is often put towards bills or food shopping. We as a charity rely on donations of toiletries to support the work we do; we are so grateful to Toiletries Amnesty.
The Baby Bank
This wonderful service has been of great help to our organisation and clients. Due to events regarding the pandemic, it has been a struggle to get adequate levels of stock for our food bank. we have been relying on the help of our wonderful volunteers and the help of Toiletries Amnesty to get through. We couldn’t have done it without your kind help.
Crookston Community Group
Toiletries Amnesty has helped families who attend our food larder to access toiletry products. We have also been able to help provide cosmetics to Women's Aid to help give women dignity and improve self-esteem. We were very grateful for the generous donation of cosmetic products. It will be a real boost as times are hard for many of them just now and I am sure this will go a long way to helping with self-care and self-esteem.
Ladies of the Rock
Toiletries Amnesty has allowed a stream of reliable products, essential to the ongoing work we provide as an organisation. During the covid pandemic and as a direct response from the project we have been able to increase our output which otherwise wouldn't have been possible.
Secret Santa 265
We received donation of hand sanitisers, and they couldn’t of come at a better time to help support all of our families. The donation has meant that every food parcel that we send out to our families we can add that little extra protection for themselves and their children and with the level of deprivation that we see at times this is the last thing on people’s minds.
Alice Charity
We cannot thank you enough for your generous donation of toiletries. Your kindness is greatly appreciated by everyone at Kilbryde Hospice, even more so during these uncertain times. It is so heart-warming for us to know that Kilbryde Hospice still has the on-going support of the local community to help us to continue to provide the much-needed care to our patients and their families.
Kilbryde Hospice
Refugees need toiletries just like the rest of us, but these are often expensive items and for refugees with barely any funds it can be impossible for them to afford these items. When we hand out toiletries at our aid distributions they are always very gratefully received.
Goodwill Caravan
We received your generous donation of make-up and beauty products from Toiletries Amnesty. Thank you so much to everyone for this incredibly generous gift to our clients. We will put some of the products in the bedrooms for when new clients arrive – many of the women who arrive at the Safe House bring with them no items and often they have no access to finances. These gifts make such a difference to the house feeling warm and welcoming.
