Hygiene poverty, as it is known, is a pressing issue affecting communities worldwide. To address this problem head-on, Cleaning Nationwide, a renowned cleaning products manufacturer, has launched its latest fundraiser. In this blog post, we&#8217;ll explore the significance of this initiative, the impact of hygiene poverty, and how Cleaning Nationwide&#8217;s efforts can make a difference.<\/p><h5><strong>Understanding Hygiene Poverty<\/strong><\/h5><p>Hygiene poverty is a term that has gained prominence in recent years, highlighting the challenges faced by those who cannot afford essential hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, sanitary products, and even laundry detergent. While the world is making strides in improving living conditions and access to basic necessities, many individuals and families still find themselves struggling to maintain proper hygiene due to financial constraints.<\/p><h5><strong>The Impact of Hygiene Poverty<\/strong><\/h5><p>The consequences of hygiene poverty are far-reaching and affect various aspects of an individual&#8217;s life:<\/p><ol><li><p><strong>Health Issues:<\/strong> Poor hygiene can lead to a range of health problems, from skin infections to more severe illnesses. Without access to essential hygiene products, individuals are at a higher risk of falling ill.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Low Self-Esteem and Social Isolation<\/strong>: Feeling dirty or ashamed because of unmet hygiene needs can lead to low self-esteem and social isolation. This can have a profound impact on mental health and overall well-being.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Missed Opportunities<\/strong>: Children and adults alike may miss out on educational and employment opportunities due to hygiene-related concerns. This perpetuates the cycle of poverty.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Dignity and Mental Health<\/strong>: Maintaining personal hygiene is not just about physical health; it&#8217;s also about preserving one&#8217;s dignity and mental well-being. Hygiene poverty can erode both.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><h5><strong>Cleaning Nationwide&#8217;s Fundraiser: A Beacon of Hope<\/strong><\/h5><p>Cleaning Nationwide has always been committed to making a positive impact on society beyond just manufacturing cleaning products. Their latest fundraiser is a testament to their dedication to alleviating hygiene poverty nationwide.<\/p><ol><li><p><strong>Raising Awareness<\/strong>: The fundraiser shines a light on the issue of hygiene poverty, raising awareness about its prevalence and the challenges it presents.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Donations for a Cause<\/strong>: Cleaning Nationwide is channeling the funds raised through this initiative into providing hygiene kits to underserved communities. These kits include essential items like soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and sanitary products.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Partnerships with Charities<\/strong>: Cleaning Nationwide has partnered with local and national charities to ensure the efficient distribution of these hygiene kits to those in need. Collaborations with nonprofits and community organizations amplify the impact of their efforts.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Employee Engagement<\/strong>: Employees at Cleaning Nationwide are actively participating in the fundraiser, volunteering their time and resources to support the cause.

We are thrilled by their efforts to raise crucial funds for the charity\u2019s work and it\u2019s 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\u2019s work grows, we need more individuals and companies who, like Cleanology, 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.\u201d<br \/>\nIt makes even small social interactions seem impossible and limits access to education and opportunities at work. The YouGov 2022 research found that:<\/p>\n<p>A third of those affected isolate themselves from friends and family.<br \/>\n16% of young people aged 16-24 have missed days at school.<br \/>\nAround 12% have missed job interviews or days at work.<br \/>\nIt erodes our confidence and self-esteem, with over 60% of people saying it negatively impacts mental health.<br \/>\nThis year\u2019s sponsors \u2013 all leading lights in the cleaning and FM sector are: Bridge Recruitment, Darwin Clayton, Futures Supplies, Liberty Hygiene, Evans Vanodine and The Cheeky Panda. All acknowledge that hygiene poverty is a growing issue across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Forbes, Co-Founder of The Cheeky Panda, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHygiene poverty is a significant social issue in many communities. By sponsoring the event and providing products to The Hygiene Bank, Cheeky Panda is taking concrete action to combat this issue.\u201d<br \/>\nMichelle Brightly, Managing Director of Bridge Recruitment, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCleanology have made a huge effort to highlight The Hygiene Bank and we are thrilled to make a contribution to help such a cause. In today\u2019s world, it is unacceptable that hygiene poverty is something that holds someone back in life.\u201d<br \/>\nJeannette McWilliams, UK National Account Manager of Evans Vanodine plc, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a manufacturer of cleaning and hygiene products, we realise the importance of staying clean. Evans is proud to support the vital work that The Hygiene Bank do to ensure everyone has access to the basics they deserve.\u201d<br \/>\nScott Marshall, CEO &#038; Founder of Liberty Hygiene, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2023 there should not be anybody who is in hygiene poverty Hopefully with the wonderful work of The Hygiene Bank soon it will be no more. We are all really excited about the event.  If it\u2019s anything like the last two it will be an amazing night and lots of money will be raised.\u201d<br \/>\nAshley Hoadley, Director of Darwin Clayton, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to continue our sponsorship of the Cleanology Hygiene Bank Charity Evening in 2023, following such a fantastic event in 2022. It will be another exciting evening and an opportunity to raise more funds needed to support the important work the Hygiene Bank is doing to help those living in poverty in the UK.\u201d<br \/>\nMarc Kemp, Managing Director of Futures Supplies, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHearing the difference The Hygiene Bank is making to individuals\u2019 lives is moving and humbling. Poverty has never been more important than it is today with the cost-of-living crisis.
