Bare Necessities Toiletry Bank

The High Sheriff of Cheshire, Jeannie France-Hayhurst, made a very welcome visit to Bare Necessities Toiletry Bank to find out more about what the charity does.

Jeannie was welcomed by Chair Wendy Hobson at the hub in Wilmslow where all the action happens along with “Team Tuesday”, some of the volunteers who collect donations, pack bags and deliver toiletries to 32 charities in the Cheshire East and South Manchester area.

The High Sheriff commented, “It was terrific to see such a hive of industry and volunteers doing so much for women to raise their self-worth and self-respect. It was a delight to meet the team and to see how much they achieve in a small place and in a short time with such astonishing efficiency. The entire vision is one which builds self-respect and makes a huge difference to those who often have no one else thinking of them. You all deserve huge credit for what you do and I’m very proud that your kindness is making such a difference in Cheshire.”

If you can buy an extra toiletry in your weekly shop or have any unused, unwanted makeup and toiletries, full sized or minis please drop them off into the donation boxes. Locations can be found on the website, alternatively, you can donate online via the website www.bntoiletrybank.org
