Give Poverty the Flush

Our foyer has been enhanced by the inclusion of a 2m tall toilet.

The Give Poverty the Flush campaign is aimed at raising awareness about the 780 million people that don't have access to clean, safe drinking water and the 2.5 billion people that don't have adequate sanitation. Every day around the world 3000 children die from preventable causes related to water, sanitation and hygiene.

People can come and take a photo on the giant toilet to share with their friends and keep the conversation going. They can sign the petition asking our government to keep their commitments in aid and water/ sanitation promotion schemes. They can educate themselves and their friends via the website or the factsheets at reception.
