25.01.2022 BRAVO SCOTLAND! Scotland has become the first country in the world to provide free and universal access to period products. The Period Products Act will place a legal duty on local authorities to make period products available for all those who need them.... Period poverty (the struggle to pay for basic sanitary products on a monthly basis) has surged during the Coronavirus pandemic according to a number of charities.

19.01.2022 Men's Health Week is serious business! It's a time to bring awareness to health issues that affect men disproportionately and focuses on getting men to become aware of problems they may have or could develop, and gain the courage to do something about it. So many of the great organisations we work with, such as Ruah do this all year round, so a big shout out to them! ... Use this week as an excuse to touch base with the blokes in your life. And even treat them to a new pair of socks... #menshealthweek #basicsforblokes #theessentialscollective #menshealth #checkin #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #blokes #brothers #pairforapair

10.01.2022 WE ARE THE ESSENTIALS COLLECTIVE!!! A little while back we renamed our Essentials for Women page as The Essentials Collective.

08.01.2022 It all adds up... even the basics to get you going in the morning are a significant cost. Averaging prices from supermarkets around town, we are always amazed at how things add up.

We can guarantee that 100% of the donations that come in will go directly towards buying the basics for blokes in need. ... So please, help where you can and remember that even the smallest donation makes a difference. T H A N K Y O U ! ! !
