Core offering

Hygiene Hub is a registered Irish charity that collects new, unused, in-date personal care and household cleaning essentials (deodorant, shower gel, shampoo, nappies, toilet roll, laundry detergent, surface cleaner) through public drop-off points and hygiene drives. Donated items are sorted by volunteers and redistributed free of charge to a network of community partner organisations, charities, and schools, which in turn support individuals and families experiencing hygiene poverty across Ireland. The charity also sells branded merchandise to raise funds and conducts awareness and research activities.

Product overview

Hygiene Hub is a registered Irish charity (CHY 20206208) that operates a product redistribution service addressing hygiene poverty across Ireland. The core offering is a collection and redistribution model: the charity accepts donations of new, unused hygiene and personal care products through drop-off points and hygiene drives, sorts these items through volunteer efforts, and distributes them to community partner organisations. In addition to its core redistribution service, the organisation sells branded merchandise (Hygiene Hub Hoodie and Hygiene Hub Tote Bag) as fundraising items, operates a volunteer hub program, conducts research on hygiene poverty in partnership with Trinity College Dublin, produces awareness content including a mini-documentary, and runs seasonal campaigns such as Back to School. The organisation launched new regional hubs in Kildare, Louth, Mayo, and Meath in 2025 and has expanded its footprint through partnerships with Boots Ireland (30 stores) and other corporate partners.

Direct peers

• In Kind Direct: UK charity that redistributes surplus consumer goods (including hygiene and personal-care products) from companies to a network of frontline charities — comparable in connecting corporate surplus with charity redistribution.
• Beauty Banks: UK charity that redistributes donated toiletries, beauty and personal-care essentials to people in poverty, using a network of drop-off points and partner charities — closely comparable in product categories handled and beneficiary model.
• The Trussell Trust: UK charity operating a national network of food banks that distribute donated essentials to people in poverty — comparable as a large-scale charity redistribution network dependent on in-kind donations, volunteer operations, and government/corporate partnerships.
• Baby Bank Network: UK network of baby banks redistributing donated baby and hygiene products to families in need via partner organisations — closely comparable redistribution model, beneficiary segment (families in hardship), and reliance on drop-off donations and community partners.
• FoodCloud: Ireland-based social enterprise redistributing surplus food from retailers to charities via a tech-enabled logistics platform — a direct domestic peer in operating model (collection, redistribution to community partners, corporate retail partnerships) though in food rather than hygiene.
• FareShare: UK charity that redistributes surplus food and consumer goods from manufacturers and retailers to a national network of frontline charities — comparable in surplus-redistribution infrastructure, partner-network model, and reliance on corporate in-kind donations.
• The Hygiene Bank: UK-registered charity tackling hygiene poverty through collection and redistribution of hygiene and personal-care products via corporate and community drop-off points — the closest operational analogue to Hygiene Hub, operating the same model across a different national market.
