Beauty Banks: 'Someone will feel fresher, cleaner, better, because of you'
Tehran (KNA) - Journalist Sali Hughes founded Beauty Banks together with PR Jo Jones, after learning of the extent of hygiene poverty in the UK. Here, she tells the story behind the project:
When you go to the supermarket, have you ever had to consider whether you can afford a box of tampons? Or had to choose between buying toothpaste or food? And when your toothbrush is worn or razor blunt, do you replace it with a new one, or have to make do for longer than is healthy?These are decisions most of us don't consciously make, but for some 13 million Britons living in poverty, they're a daily reality.
Simple, everyday toiletries like shower gel, tampons, towels, razors, soap, shampoo, deodorant, represent the costly choice between keeping clean and eating.
