Multi-Supplier Hygiene Poverty Campaign in Tesco

We are excited to announce the launch of our 3rd hygiene poverty campaign with Unilever and Tesco – the campaign is now bigger then ever as we have been joined by three more manufacturers: Kimberly Clark, Essity, and Haleon.

We are immensely proud to see four of our long-standing partners and a major retailer Tesco, join forces with us, committed to reducing hygiene poverty in the UK.

Hygiene poverty remains a growing issue in the UK, with the number of people experiencing it at 9 million. Read our full Human Right to Hygiene report to learn more, and hear what we are doing about it.

What is hygiene poverty?

Hygiene poverty is not being able to afford everyday personal hygiene products many of us take for granted. Many people experiencing hygiene poverty face the impossible choice to heat, eat or keep feel clean on a daily basis.

How will this Campaign help?

The expansion of the hygiene poverty campaign to include more manufacturers follows the success of the first two campaigns, where over 1 million personal hygiene products such as shower gel, shampoo and deodorant have been donated across the last 12 months.

The additional manufacturers mean a wider range of personal care and household products will be donated, including everyday essentials like toilet paper, toothpaste, and period products, which are out of reach for many households in the UK.

The aim of these campaigns is to distribute millions of personal care items from well-known brands including Radox, Sure, Persil, Andrex, Bodyform and Sensodyne, using the scale of the largest supermarket, Tesco, and our network of charitable organisations.

How can you support?

From 23rd August to 3rd October, the four manufacturers will donate one product to In Kind Direct for every two selected products purchased in-store or online in Tesco. The promotion will be live in 700 stores across the UK and is aiming to drive donations of up to 1.4 million products, making it easier than ever for shoppers to make a difference during their regular weekly shop.

We’ll then distribute the donated products to our network of charitable organisations across the UK, supporting 365,000 people every week.

Get involved!

Visit your local Tesco superstore and buy any 2 promotional products to unlock one donation to us.

“It is a real battle just keeping healthy food on people’s tables these days, particularly for those living in poverty. Thanks to In Kind Direct, Tesco and Unilever, we are helping to maintain people’s dignity by adding items like deodorant to people’s food/household packs. In addition, we have wellbeing workshops where we distribute the Simple wipes. Thank you In Kind Direct, Tesco and Unilever.”

“These products will be being packed into Christmas hampers we provide to the community over the holidays. Without In Kind Direct and their partners we wouldn’t be able to fill them with toiletries.”

“Our guests all are struggling with the cost of living crisis. Since we joined In Kind Direct’s network, we’ve been able to stock our social supermarket shelves with products that even we as a charity could not afford.

This has meant we’ve been able to provide our families with a variety of products that they too could not afford. Our guests have been extremely overwhelmed by our kindness and generosity which has only been possible through us using In Kind Direct’s services.”
