Nourish Support Centre Raise Awareness for World Hand Hygiene Day May 5th
Nourish Support Centre working in collaboration with The Hygiene Bank are raising awareness of just how many families in our community are not able to do simple basic things such as wash their hands for world hand hygiene day.
Hygiene Poverty is a critical issue faced by many people living in poverty or experiencing crises. Nourish Support Centre provides much needed and life-changing support to families in Fife who have additional support needs. With lived experience of having children with additional support needs, those at the helm of Nourish Support Centre ensure that our services meet the needs of our service users. By speaking with families, and finding out where the gaps in support are, we ensure we deliver services that meet the needs of families with additional support needs in our community.
Several of our service users, through no fault of their own, face an inability to afford basic hygiene products which can lead to social isolation and have a negative impact on their health and wellbeing.
The lack of access to essentials like soap, shower gel, shampoo, and toilet paper can affect confidence, early childhood development, learning, employability, and social interaction. Nourish have taken the opportunity to come together with one of our partnerships working colleagues, The Hygiene Bank, to provide free hygiene packs; going a short way in making a difference within our local community.
Nourish’s Community Hub will have hygiene bags available on Monday 6th May to do their small part in raising awareness of World Hand Hygiene Day, whilst delivering much needed toiletries to our service users and wider community.
Monday 6th May 2024
Please pop in the Community Hub, Mercat Shopping Centre, Kirkcaldy from 10:30 to 13:00 to collect a hygiene pack if you need it!
