I thought there was a Hygiene Bank, didn't it get discussed on here?
Yes - The Hygiene Bank is a charity with, it seems, a very similar mission to Beauty Banks. There was some discussion here, noting how similar they appeared to be - even using almost identical wording on their websites to describe their work.
There was discussion about whether Beauty Banks had 'copied' The Hygiene Bank or vice versa. They seem to have been set up at very much the same time. I think it was noted that The Hygiene Bank had been registered as a charity slightly earlier than Beauty Banks but that BB had set up an IG account before THB.
It's possible of course that each was ignorant of the other when they started, although Charity Commission guidance to anyone thinking of setting up a charity is to check whether there already is a charity addressing the particular need and, if there is, to join forces rather than set up a separate one. There are obvious advantages to having a single organisation, so not joining forces would seem a missed opportunity to do even greater good - but clearly I've no idea as to the reasons why they haven't.
I don't want to seem critical. Having two organisations rather than one may not be the ideal but they're doing great work for a really worthwhile cause.
