Anti-child hygiene poverty charity steps up campaign

London: A charity started by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown is stepping up its efforts against childhood hygiene poverty in 2025. They’re really pushing to make a difference.

The Multibank, in partnership with Fans For Foodbanks and various sports clubs across Britain, has gathered tons of hygiene products during the holiday season. It’s pretty impressive!

They’ve been focusing on collecting essentials like deodorant, soap, and shower gels. The goal is to help kids, especially teens, who might be feeling left out or embarrassed about their hygiene.

Recent surveys show that more teachers are spending their own money to help kids deal with hygiene issues in schools. It’s a tough situation.

Today, the Multibank got a big boost when Amazon announced they’d be donating 250,000 hygiene products by the end of January. This collaboration is a game-changer!

Gordon Brown expressed gratitude for the support from sports fans, saying it’s helping kids feel more confident and ready to engage in school. It’s all about making sure they have the basics.

He emphasized that the donations from last month are making a real impact, allowing kids to feel clean and comfortable. There’s still a lot more to do, though.

Brown also praised Amazon for their ongoing support and collaboration with hygiene companies to increase supplies. It’s all about keeping families hopeful and clean.

John Boumphrey from Amazon shared how proud they are to support the Multibank network. He’s been inspired by the generosity of sports fans and hopes to keep that momentum going.

By working together, they aim to generate even more donations and tackle hygiene poverty head-on. It’s a community effort that’s really needed right now.
