Thousands of people don’t want to go to work because they are unable to afford basic hygiene products, a charity has said.

A report suggests 3.2 million of adults in Britain are in hygiene poverty and many are ashamed to go to work because they cannot afford items such as soap and deodorant.

The Hygiene Bank, which conducted the research with YouGov, said 12% of people they'd questioned had avoided facing colleagues as a result of this "hidden crisis".

Chief executive Ruth Brock said: "It's much more widespread than we feared, it's increasing, and it's disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable.

According to the report people in hygiene poverty were most likely to go without shaving products, deodorant, washing powder and other cleaning products.

One mother said: "I wash my hair once a week now, used to be every other day… I don't buy body wash anymore, I use the froth from the shampoo."

'A toss-up between toothpaste and heating'

Another said that it was regularly a "toss-up" in her house between buying toothpaste or having the heating on for a few minutes.
