Little changes make
a big difference.
We are a charity that provides freely donated toiletries to people in need. Dignity Boxes are small boxes that are filled with a selection of basic toiletries, before being openly placed in areas, that are experiencing deprivation or a high level of poverty.
The aim of the boxes is ultimately to promote self-worth and dignity by allowing those in need to take what they cannot afford, or get access to, from a Dignity Box without having to ask or thank anyone. Consequently, we hope to promote in a small way, self-worth and dignity.
The purpose, as well as practical, is to make people feel a little better about themselves even for a short time.

You can help us make a difference to the lives of people in Scotland through donations. We also take unused toiletries, such as those that you get at Christmas.
As we are an ambitious and rapidly expanding charity, our operational costs are increasing all the time. All financial donations will go towards toiletries and our operating costs.
In the spirit of transparency sometimes we receive donations that don't fit what we need or ask for such as gift sets. On these occasions we would keep them until we attend a craft or school fayre where we would sell them at a reduced price. The money raised is then used to buy the products that we need to refill our dignity boxes.
