Amazon and major brands donate 200,000 hygiene essentials to Swansea Multibank
The products — including toothpaste, soap, deodorant and laundry detergent from names such as Colgate, Johnson & Johnson, Neutrogena, Sanex and Palmolive — will be channelled through the Swansea‑based Multibank, run by charity Faith in Families, to support households struggling with the cost of living.
Local distribution from Swansea
The donations are being coordinated with support from Amazon’s Swansea Bay fulfilment centre, which is working with supplier partners to deliver the items. Families referred to the Cwtch Mawr Multibank will receive the products free of charge.
Research commissioned earlier this year found that nearly one in four adults in Wales worry about paying for basic hygiene products, while 14% have already cut back or gone without.
What it means for families
Cherrie Bija, Chief Executive of Faith in Families, said:
“We work with organisations supporting some of the most vulnerable people who find themselves in desperate need, often through no fault of their own. The products we receive through the Multibank and Amazon partnership make a huge difference — whether that’s having toothpaste to clean children’s teeth or blankets to stay warm.”
National network, local impact
The Cwtch Mawr Multibank is part of a UK‑wide network co‑founded by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Amazon. Since 2022, Multibanks have provided more than 12 million essential items to over 800,000 families nationwide.
The current campaign runs until 12 November, with every two qualifying products purchased on Amazon.co.uk triggering a third item donated to the Multibank at no extra cost to customers.
Amazon’s view
Eugenie Teasley, Head of Impact at Amazon UK, said:
“As winter draws closer and families face increasingly difficult times, we wanted to team up once again with our partners in support of The Multibank in Wales and across the UK. The You buy. We donate campaign offers Amazon customers the opportunity to make a huge difference to the lives of families in need while buying their everyday essential items.”

Share to BlueSky Share to TwitterDid you know that palm oil is one of the world’s most destructive crops, as it can only be harvested in tropical rainforest and peatland landscapes where the highest concentration of endangered species live? The majority of palm oil and soy is fed to farm animals that people eat. This is why palm oil is an animal rights issue. And it is for these reasons that palm oil is NOT considered vegan by animal activists. It may be a plant-based substance, but it is NOT VEGAN. Brands making cleaning products like PZ Cussons, Colgate-Palmolive, Reckitt and Unilever claiming vegan status are simply greenwashing extinction and ecocide!

Wieder einmal leere Flaschen, Tuben und Einwegverpackungen am Waldrand, diesmal in der Nähe der Marswiese im Siebzehnten. Das alleine ist freilich nichts Besonderes für das typische Straßenbankett einer Wohlstandsgesellschaft, in der Recycling und Naturschutz trotz Rohstoffknappheit und Klimakrise iterativ beworben werden müssen. Dass es sich dabei um den Abfall der 1955 abgezogenen US-Besatzungstruppen Wiens handelt, macht die Müllschüttung durchaus interessant. Sie bietet erstens […]https://www.schlot.at/2025/07/10/at-1170-wien-besatzungszone-1945-1955-kulturschutt-der-us-army/
