The Harlequins Foundation

At the Harlequins v DHL Stormers fixture on Saturday, we will be facilitating a donation drive at The Stoop, encouraging all matchday fans to gift essential hygiene products in support of London-based The Multibank 🧴🫧 The initiative is designed to raise awareness & respond to the rising issues of hygiene poverty amongst young people in the focus boroughs that we work in – being one of the primary drivers of school absence & having the biggest impact on those most in need 🩶 Find out more, including which products are most in need 👇 https://lnkd.in/eW3z9ReD
