Who we are

Hygiene Hub started in late 2019 and was galvanised by the belief that everyone has a right to access hygiene products to live a happy, healthy and confident life. We collect and re-distribute hygiene and personal grooming items to Irish charities and non-profit organisations. In turn, these organisations give the products out freely to their beneficiaries. 

Our passion stems from a sense of injustice: no one should be going without essential hygiene items in twenty-first century Ireland. By signing up to volunteer with Hygiene Hub, you will help us achieve our vision for everyone in Ireland to have equal access to hygiene and household cleaning products.
