What is Re:Fresh?

Re:Fresh is a schools based project that provides toiletry and sanitary items to children and youth in need. It was established in 2015 in response to a growing awareness that many students were facing complex circumstances and challenges which meant they were not fully supported in areas of personal hygiene and self care. We discovered that by providing a simple bag of toiletries young people were empowered to take control and care for themselves. We currently partner with several schools in the Wiltshire and Somerset area. In the first year of this project 250 bags were given to students across the local areas.

Toiletry bags are discretely accessed by students normally through pastoral staff working in a school or college.
