There are times when a simple project can bring enormous benefit to the community. Such is the Personal Hygiene Packs that are packed and presented to the QEII Hospital by the Rotary Club of Salisbury. The packs typically contain a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, tissues and a razor for the male packs as standard items. The packs can also contain shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lip balm. The packs are presented to the Hospital for the use of patients who have been unexpectedly admitted possibly due to an emergency. Hospital staff report that the packs are gratefully received by the patients giving them a small amount of comfort during a time which may be stressful and traumatic.
