Warwickshire library is providing free toiletry packs

Holly Clement 17th Sep, 2024   0

WARWICKSHIRE Library and market hall museum is providing free toiletry packs for those in need.

The packs will be available on a first come, first served basis and customers can take one without speaking to staff beforehand.

Toiletry packs include sanitary towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and conditioner for children and adults.

​Warwickshire Libraries received a household support fund earlier this year, provided by the Department for Work and Pensioners (DWP) and Government to offer free toiletry packs.

Coun Yousef Dahmash, portfolio holder for customer and transformation, said: “Warwickshire Libraries are warm and welcoming spaces for people of all ages and backgrounds, and this short-term offer of support will help to provide discreet access to key toiletry essentials.

“The financial pressures of not being able to afford essential items can have a negative impact on physical and mental health and wellbeing, and at Warwickshire Libraries help is available.




“Our staff are always around to say hello and can signpost residents to the great range of services and information available in Warwickshire offering support, including Warwickshire’s Cost of Living website.”
