The June 2025 BN Bulletin highlights a vibrant month for Bare Necessities Toiletry Bank, showcasing community engagement and charitable initiatives. The fundraiser gig in May, featuring free entertainment from The Crows and DJ Moo, raised £4,000 to combat hygiene poverty.

Manchester Tech Festival 2024 has chosen to support Bare Necessities with donations from this year's event. Running from 28th Oct - 8th Nov, it's a two-week long festival for the tech community which we're delighted to be associated with.
About Manchester Tech Festival
Spanning two weeks, Manchester Tech Festival (MTF) is a collection of conferences, fringe events and evening socials designed for the Manchester tech community. Whether you’re an aspiring techie, an innovative CEO, or anyone in between, MTF has something just for you.
At the centre of the festival is a two-day multi-stage conference, complete with Tech Expo. Surrounding this are a number of specialist single stage conferences and fringe events, giving you the option to pick and choose an agenda that suits you.
Whatever events you attend, our laid-back evening socials bring together attendees from across the city and are the perfect spot to connect with fellow like-minded attendees, share insights, and chill out over the day’s discoveries.
Help us end hygiene poverty for good.
