ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

UK cleaning business has launched its third annual fundraising event in aid of The Hygiene Bank. This year it will take place on Tuesday October 3rd at the Globe Theatre in London.

CEO Dominic Ponniah said: ""Guests can look forward to an array of entertainment, including networking opportunities, drinks, canapés, a lively auction, a raffle with amazing prizes, and a panoramic view of London and the River Thames from one of London's most iconic venues."

In its first two years the Cleanology event has raised £40,000 for The Hygiene Bank, a grassroots people-powered charity supporting people suffering from hygiene poverty, inspiring social change and giving people access to the basics they need. The charity believes it is not right that feeling clean should be a luxury or a privilege for anyone in our society.

Over 3.1 million adults in the UK are living in Hygiene Poverty and research by YouGov in October 2022 showed that hygiene products such as toothpaste, shampoo and laundry detergent are the first to be cut when budgets are tight.

Ruth Brock, CEO of The Hygiene Bank, thanked the organisers and sponsors: "The Hygiene Bank is so grateful to Dominic Ponniah and Cleanology and all the sponsors of this event for their fantastic generosity. We are thrilled by their efforts to raise crucial funds for the charity's work and it's so important to us to have had the chance to raise awareness of hygiene poverty and how it affects the lives of millions of people across the UK.

"As the need for the charity's work grows, we need more individuals and companies who believe that everyone deserves to feel clean, to follow in their footsteps and join us, as we work together to end hygiene poverty for good."

Tickets are priced from £46 +VAT each and are available on Eventbrite, with all profits donated to The Hygiene Bank.
