**Collection for The Hygiene Bank**

• Thurs 26th and Fri 27th May (9am-5pm)
• Castleknock Community Centre, Laurel Lodge

Dear Parents,

The Hygiene Bank is a volunteer-run charity, tackling hygiene poverty in Ireland by collecting hygiene products (soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, nappies, period products etc) and donating them to charity partners who in turn pass them on to the people who need them most in the community. They’re currently supporting women’s refuges, people in direct provision, homeless groups, Traveller groups and communities in disadvantaged areas around Dublin. They are now attempting to provide hygiene products to newly-arrived Ukranian refugees and are in greater need than ever of donated hygiene products to continue supporting all those in need. Everything donated locally, is given out locally.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could add even one hygiene product (or whatever you can manage) to your next shop and drop these items to the Castleknock Community Centre between 9am – 5pm on Wed 25th, Thurs 26th and Fri 27th May.

Thank you so much for your support!
