Over 150 guests enjoyed a memorable evening at The Law Society in the heart of legal London, when they raised over £34,000 to help The Hygiene Bank charity play a major role in beating the stigma of hygiene poverty.
The annual fundraiser, hosted by Cleanology, has now raised over £151,000 in its first five years.
Dominic Ponniah, event organiser and Co-Founder of Cleanology, said: “Yet again our many friends and colleagues in the FM industry have been incredibly generous to ensure this event remains as successful as ever. Sadly, hygiene poverty remains a real blight on society but this event is proof that there are many determined and spirited people who want to play a part in beating it.”
Ruth Brock, CEO of The Hygiene Bank, added: “Partnerships like this show what’s possible when businesses and social causes come together with a shared purpose. Cleanology’s annual fundraiser is a powerful example of collective action in practice and, thanks to everyone’s generosity, we will be able to make a real difference to thousands of people across the UK who are struggling to afford basic hygiene products.”
The exterior of the venue, The Law Society, was illuminated in yellow as part of the charity’s National Hygiene Week campaign to focus attention on hygiene poverty.
The Hygiene Bank is a people-powered charity and social movement, committed to tackling hygiene poverty in communities across the UK. It believes that no one should have to choose between staying clean and meeting other basic needs. Through their network of projects, they provide essential hygiene products to those experiencing poverty or crisis.
