Most would agree that basic toiletries should not be a luxury. Good personal hygiene is essential for health and self-confidence. Thrive OX7 has had the amazing support of the shoppers of Co-op Chipping Norton, who drop toiletry items in the collection bins for us to pick up and distribute locally.

We put together wellbeing packs for young people who, due to the difficulty of their home lives are finding it hard to take care of themselves.

For a local group providing support to survivors of domestic abuse, we created self-care gifts to help lift spirits and raise self-esteem following traumatic upheaval.

At Christmas, we work alongside Chippy Larder and the team at St Mary’s Chipping Norton to provide festive toiletry gifts for hampers. With the help of our partners, we have been able to reach hundreds of local people, and try to make essential items feel just a little special.
