Donations Drive for Dignity Boxes – DRESS DOWN DAY
DRESS DOWN DAY FOR A DONATION OF DIGNITY PRODUCTS 
WHEN: Friday 26th May
Dignity Boxes’ founder, Isabel Dosser, qualified as a registered nurse in 1976 and worked in various hospital departments before moving into palliative care in 1996 and then nursing education in 2004. Isabel had a growing concern about the impact of poverty in health and well being and in 2018 she established Dignity Boxes to provide free toiletries to those in need, an initiative that was based around the principle of preserving and promoting the dignity of all individuals.
Since becoming a registered charity in December 2018, Dignity Boxes established many connections with recipients and donors of dignity boxes across West Lothian and the City of Edinburgh. Our network continues to grow and our dedication to promoting Dignity of all through the provision of free toiletries remains at the heart of everything we do.
Our school ‘Mini Equity Champs’ and ‘Social Group’ have been involved in developing links with local charities and businesses and have decided to support our own ‘Community Cupboard’ and hold a donation drive for dignity boxes.
DRESS DOWN DAY – Bring any toiletries item on Friday 26th May to support both our Calderwood community and the registered charity Dignity Boxes.
Please only give if you can and only ONE PER FAMILY.
Thank you!
