WE RAISED £22,000 FOR OXFAM!!  THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!   What is National Plughole Week? - National Plughole week was founded in 2007 to raise awareness of developing countries poor sanitation.  Working with Oxfam, Buster the plughole care brand has been raising money to help fund Oxfam’s life saving work. Where you money goes – Oxfam will be using your valuable life saving donations to provide water filtration buckets.    2010 National Plughole was bigger than ever! In April NPW  launched its Bottle for Change campaign. This campaign was a very simple concept, you simply request a bottle or bottles or water, we send them to you, you enjoy a refreshing mineral water drink, then you help us fundraise by refilling the bottle with 1p’s, 5p’s and 20p’s. Your donation can be banked at any Lloyds bank or send us a cheque direct to us or make an online payment. A little change goes a long way. 1p coins only = clean water for 2 families, 5p coins only = clean water for 18 families, 20p coins only = clean water for 62 families For more information visit <a href="http://www.nationalplugholeweek.com/">www.nationalplugholeweek.com</a> Alton Water Fun Run – NPW will be at the Alton water Fun Run in Holbrook on Sunday 9th May 2010. Buster donated 5p for every product sold in June and July. Buster is available in all major retailers and hardware stores. So by purchasing Buster you will be helping to raise vital life saving funds. Through this site you can help raise further funds for Oxfam’s vital work in improving santiation systems in developing countries. For example a donation of £9 could provide safe water for 12 people, and just £2.50 could buy a life saving filtration bucket that will keep a family’s water clean and safe to drink.
