Essential Toiletries Kits

As part of our ongoing Cost of Living response, West Sussex Libraries will be providing Essential Toiletries Kits free to residents.
Essential Toiletries Kits

The Essential Toiletries Kit (which will be in a sealed zip lock bag) will contain:

  • shampoo
  • conditioner
  • body lotion
  • roll on deodorant
  • toothpaste
  • adult toothbrush
  • tissues

Children’s toothbrushes will also be available for people to add to the Kits themselves, depending on their needs.

They will be available from all 36 libraries and will be on display for anyone to collect. 

The kits will be available in libraries while stocks last. 

How does it work?

Essential Toiletries Kits will be available for free in 36 libraries around West Sussex. 

All customers need to do is to visit their local library and find the display of the Essential Toiletries Kits. 

They can then help themselves to a bag, add a child’s toothbrush and then tick a sheet for data records to say which group best represents their household – families with children/people with disabilities/older people or other if the previous categories do not relate to their circumstance. 

Essential Period Products  

The Period Product bags (packed in a pink striped paper bag and stapled at the top) will contain:

  • 2 x Sanitary Pads
  • 2 x Tampons
  • 2 x Sanitising Wipe Sachets
  • 1 x Paper Sanitary Disposal Bag
