Toilet For a Toilet Charity Campaign

Last week we went to visit one of our longest standing clients Taplanes, dropping off some donations for an event they are holding this month.


On 18 December 2019, Taplanes will be holding a toilet twinning fundraiser to raise money to twin a toilet from Taplanes with a latrine in a poorer community.


The Toilet Twinning Charity highlights the fact that 2.5 billion people in the world still don't have anywhere safe, clean and hygienic to go to the toilet. Figures show that 900 children die every day due to diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. As the Charity say they are "flushing away poverty, one toilet at a time".


Our friends over at Taplanes got in touch with us about this opportunity to help raise money for the toilet twinning charity, which we thought was a great idea and said we would offer our support in any way we could.


Being in the cleaning industry we understand the importance of cleanliness and sanitation, especially in toilets and public areas as germs can spread, even more so in developing countries.


Toilet twinning raises funds to enable people in poor communities to have:

  • Clean water 
  • Basic toilets 
  • Knowledge on hygiene 

 

Providing developing countries with this kind of gift is incredible and we are honoured to help raise money for this great cause.

 

We donated three prizes to Taplanes for their raffle in the fundraiser. Keeping the prizes light-hearted and in line with the toilet theme, we supplied:

  • A Donald Trump toilet brush and holder set
  • '52 things to do while you poo' book 
  • 2 joke filled toilet rolls

 

We hope this will add to the raffle and put a smile on the lucky winner’s faces. We had our eye on the Donald Trump toilet brush for the office. We also dropped off a bottle of Prosecco as a Christmas present to thank Taplanes for another great year of business together.


At Christmas it is important to give back to people who have a lot less than you, in this case, the necessity of a toilet that we take for granted. Christmas is a time to spend with family and share food and presents however it's also a time give back to people less fortunate than ourselves.
