Thousands of people across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight are affected by hygiene poverty, with the increased cost of living meaning some families are going without simple necessities like soap, toothpaste and personal care products.

Throughout January, 大象传媒 Radio Solent is helping collect donated toiletries and cleaning products, for community schemes and charities to distribute to those who need them.

大象传媒 Radio Solent's Steve Harris has been speaking to Councillor Hannah Hobbs-Chell from Ferndown Community Support CIC about hygiene poverty.

You can donate unopened items to the 大象传媒 Radio Solent Soapbox Appeal at drop off locations across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight, there's a full list on the 大象传媒 Radio Solent Make a Difference page.
