Cleanology has launched its annual fundraising event – now in its fourth year – in aid of The Hygiene Bank.
The fundraiser has raised over £78,000 in its first three years. This year, the event is being held on Wednesday 9 October at the Hard Rock Café in the heart of London’s Mayfair.
Dominic Ponniah, CEO and Co-Founder of Cleanology, said: “When we held our first event, we had no idea that four years later the scale of hygiene poverty would be such that this hidden crisis has grown exponentially.”
Ruth Brock, CEO of The Hygiene Bank, commented: “Cleanology’s unwavering support over the years has made a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of families pulled into hygiene poverty, and as we launch this event together, we celebrate not only the progress we’ve made but also the partnership that makes it all possible. Together, we’re changing lives.”
Last month, the British Cleaning Council called on the cleaning and hygiene industry to get behind the fight against hygiene poverty and support in any way possible.
In May this year, The Hygiene Bank unveiled shocking findings from its latest research report ‘Hygiene Poverty in 2024’. It now estimates that 4.2m adults in the UK are currently living in hygiene poverty, a significant increase of 1.1m people compared to the findings in 2022, highlighting the escalating severity of this silent crisis.
This year’s fundraiser sponsors are Evans Vanodine, Futures Supplies, Darwin Clayton, BigChange, Liberty Hygiene, Rotageek, DALROD and Bunzl.
Up to 200 expected guests can look forward to an array of entertainment including a live DJ, networking, refreshing cocktails, Hard Rock classic burgers, a lively auction and raffle with amazing prizes, all in the surroundings of a venue renowned for authentic dining and world class entertainment.
The Hygiene Bank is a people-powered charity and social movement, committed to tackling hygiene poverty in communities across the UK. The Hygiene Bank believe that no one should have to choose between staying clean and meeting other basic needs.
Tickets are prices from £75+VAT each and are available on Eventbrite, with all profits donated to The Hygiene Bank.
