Individuals living without a home face huge obstacles to attend to their personal hygiene, such as minimal access to showers, laundry, and hand-washing facilities. The impediments to personal hygiene associated with homelessness could raise the risk of catching infectious diseases, yet there is only a small focus on hygiene-related activities among the homeless.

Due to the COVID situation, it has become harder for those on the streets, as services intended to provide homeless people with facilities have had to close down or drastically reduce their activities; some have been unable to continue at all. For Brighton & Hove, the only provider of regular showering and washing facilities for the homeless is the emergency night shelter.

This year, the Archbishop is lending his help to the emergency night shelter to serve the homeless of the city a hot meal and a warm place to stay during winter. In addition to thick socks, His Grace is also eager to give out items required for personal hygiene e.g., toiletries, sanitiser, change of underwear and particularly women’s health items such as sanitary towels and fresh wipes. These items are often overlooked. Funding for such items is seldom available.

Please help the Archbishop to help others by way of a donation so that necessary personal hygiene items can be purchased wholesale and distributed to those who need them most.
