The Hygiene Bank Charity Event

West Reservoir recently hosted the Balance Me Skincare event—a well-attended morning focused on wellbeing through Cold Water Swimming, Yoga, Meditation, Skincare, and Nutrition. The timing aligned with the end of Stress Awareness Month, giving guests practical ways to unwind and reset.

The event also supported The Hygiene Bank. Attendees brought essential toiletries including toothbrushes, sanitary products, deodorant, skincare, and body wash. All profits were donated directly to the charity, alongside the donated goods. The support from everyone who contributed is appreciated.

Cold water swimming sessions ran throughout the morning, with many guests trying it for the first time. This was followed by multiple free yoga and meditation classes, led by Jenny and Jenni, who both volunteered their time to support the event. The feedback from participants was positive, and the calm atmosphere throughout the site made the event feel focused and relaxed.

We’d like to thank everyone who attended, donated, and took part. Events like this rely on teamwork and support from the whole community. A special thank you goes to our staff on the day—Nuno, Oli, Luke, Amir, Nick, and Fabs—for keeping things running smoothly.

Thanks again to Jenny and Jenni for their energy and generosity in running the yoga sessions.

We hope to host more events like this in future that combine health, wellbeing, and support for good causes.
