Rebecca Johnson: The Londoner on a mission to reduce hygiene poverty in the capital

One Londoner is on a mission to tackle hygiene poverty.

In the midst of a cost of living crisis Rebecca Johnson realised families were struggling with essentials and that was having an impact on young students’ personal hygiene.

She decided to do something about it, putting together 150 hygiene ‘refresher kits’ to provide to a local school.

She’s already gaining funding interest to hopefully be able to continue the work.

Sarah Firth spoke with Rebecca about her plans for Refresh Kits and what motivates her to help.

You can donate too, just search for Rebecca Johnson on gofundme.com.
