Query re food banks

[Sue]

Are there any local food banks (or womens' refuges) which could make use of/would take unused and partly used toiletries?

Things like shampoo, soap with a dispenser and bubble bath?

Thank you, but I can't see anything mentioned anywhere except food?

It looks like there are a couple of points not too far away from ED

The food banks that I've volunteered at all accepted and issued toiletries. Perhaps each place is different!!

Albrighton definitely accept toiletries, not sure about part used ones though.

Great, thanks, never heard of these before, that's useful.

That's a very odd photo to use for the teenage girl.

Southwark foodbank gladly accepts unused toiletries, but can't take used ones.

I think giving toiletries, as well as food, is a great idea.  The issues around partly-used items are to do with hygiene, dignity, etc.

We regularly donate toiletries as well as cleaning products to Albrighton
