We are thrilled to announce that UNFILTERED is now an official In Kind Direct partner! This exciting new partnership allows us to join forces with a fantastic organisation committed to tackling hygiene poverty in the UK. For those who don’t know, hygiene poverty refers to the struggle many individuals and families face when they cannot afford basic personal hygiene products. This can include essentials like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper, and period products—things most of us take for granted.

How This Partnership Will Make a Difference Through this new partnership, we now have direct access to essential hygiene products, enabling us to better support neurodivergent individuals—especially those on lower incomes or deemed vulnerable—who face additional challenges in maintaining personal hygiene. Neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, and other conditions, may experience sensory sensitivities, social challenges, or difficulties with routine, all of which can make personal hygiene practices even more complicated. When you add financial difficulties into the mix, these individuals may face the painful reality of choosing between paying for essential hygiene products or affording other necessities, like food or heating.
By partnering with In Kind Direct, UNFILTERED is now able to provide vital hygiene products to neurodivergent individuals and families who need them the most. This partnership means that we can distribute products like toothpaste, shampoo, period products, nappies, toilet roll, and more, making it easier for neurodivergent people to maintain their hygiene without having to sacrifice other basic needs.

Supporting Neurodivergent People with Access to Hygiene Essentials Maintaining good hygiene is vital for everyone, but for neurodivergent individuals, it can sometimes feel like an overwhelming task. Sensory overload, anxiety, and the struggle to stick to routines can all make hygiene practices more challenging. For people who are already facing the financial strain of living on a lower income, the added difficulty of not being able to access basic hygiene products can take a toll on both physical and mental health. It can also lead to feelings of isolation, stress, and a sense of shame.
At UNFILTERED, we’re committed to making sure that neurodivergent individuals aren’t left behind. Through our new partnership with In Kind Direct, we can now offer free hygiene products at our events to those in need, helping them feel supported and empowered to care for themselves without the added stress of financial worry.
How You Can Get Involved In addition to distributing hygiene products to those in need, UNFILTERED will be working with In Kind Direct to raise awareness of the struggles neurodivergent individuals face with maintaining hygiene, especially when financial barriers are in place. We’ll continue to advocate for better access to essential products for those who are most vulnerable in our society, ensuring that everyone—regardless of neurodivergence, background, or income—has the opportunity to live clean, healthy lives.
"We can now offer free hygiene products at our events to those in need."
We encourage everyone in the UNFILTERED community to support this cause. Whether it's by contributing to our upcoming campaigns, helping spread the word, or simply donating hygiene products, your involvement can help make a real difference in reducing hygiene poverty across the UK.
This partnership with In Kind Direct is a huge step forward in our mission to support neurodivergent individuals, particularly those in lower-income households or facing other vulnerabilities. By tackling hygiene poverty head-on, we can empower people to live with dignity, confidence, and the basic necessities needed for good health and well-being.
Together, let’s create a future where everyone, regardless of their background or condition, has access to the hygiene products they need to thrive.
