British Cleaning Council | Sponsorship & Publications

From the proceeds raised through the Cleaning Show, the BCC is able to sponsor its members for award ceremonies, publications, and industry related initiatives. Some of the sponsorship and publications are shown below. For further information on any of these please see websites of corresponding members.

ENCAMS
Three publications have been commissioned looking at issues affecting our environment including the role of the cleaner and teenage litter culprits. The publications are `Broken Windows in the Big Brother House`; `From Zero to Hero`; and `I`m just a Teenage Dirtbag Baby`.

Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners
The BCC is one of the sponsors of the annual 'Building Cleanability Awards' which recognises the efforts of architects who design buildings with cleaning needs in mind.

BTA runs the annual 'Loo of the Year' awards which recognise the best 'away from home' toilet facilities in all sectors. The Association also organised the World Toilet Summit in Belfast in 2005.

Federation of Window Cleaners
The federation produced a safety video sponsored by BCC entitled 'Walk Up, Walk Down'. This was produced to encourage safe practice within the window cleaning industry.
