02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Charity collects toiletries provided by donors and redistribute them in Dignity Boxes via our hosting partners monthly. Individuals then take what they need from the Dignity Box. Hosting partners are all like-minded organisations who share our values. Some are charities themselves who support the prevention or relief of poverty and those in need in their own individual way. Where possible the boxes are placed discreetly within each host organisation. Dignity Boxes promote self-worth for individual beneficiaries - by allowing those in need to take what they cannot afford or gain access to, without having to ask or thank anyone. In pursuit of promoting dignity, anonymity is key in this respect.
