Unlocking toilet rolls for communities across the UK
Together with our longstanding partner Kimberly Clark and their iconic brand Andrex, we’ve teamed up with The Co-op and their national charity partner Your Local Pantry to unlock more toilet rolls for millions of families experiencing hygiene poverty across the UK.
That’s why from the 23rd October through to the 12th November 2024, for every pack of Andrex 9 roll Standard Ultimate Quilts, or 9 roll Standard Complete Clean purchased in over 2000 Co-op stores, one roll will be donated to us.
With a generous donation of up to 250,000 rolls of Andrex, we will then be putting half aside for the Your Local Pantry members to access exclusively, with the other half going to our wider network of 6,500 charitable organisations across the UK.
This innovative partnership will mean that our network and Your Local Pantry members have a steady and reliable stream of toilet roll to support their communities during the tough winter months, where many people will have to choose between heating, eating or keeping clean.
The campaign has now come to a close. 159,727 toilet rolls have been unlocked for communities across the UK. Thank you to everyone who has supported.
Unlock product for your network
If you’re a charitable organisation who would like to trial a similar approach to unlocking essential product for your network, whilst working with us as the logistics partner, we’d love to discuss.

"Andrex toilet rolls are always very much appreciated as they represent quality products, families just love receiving them"

"We had a family who couldn't afford to buy toilet rolls and the children were using paper from magazines. They couldn't believe they could have access to Andrex toilet rolls"
- Winshill Neighbourhood Resource Centre
"An elderly couple we support were using newspaper instead of toilet roll. We were able to give them a care parcel with toilet roll inside. They were over the moon!".
