We've now twinned xxx of our toilets via
www.toilettwinning.org and are delighted with
the progress we've made! Anyone visiting a
Bidfood site is likely to come across a twinning
certificate hanging above a WC, and we are
really pleased that our employees have
embraced this initiative with such enthusiasm.
Every £60 that is donated to the Toilet Twinning
scheme helps fund a project in a poor
community that will enable families to build a
basic toilet, have access to clean water and
learn about hygiene - a vital combination that
saves lives, more important than ever during the
coronavirus pandemic.
Currently two billion people don't have
somewhere safe and hygienic to go to the toilet
and the lack of a loo makes women and girls a
target for sexual attack as they relieve
themselves in the open, late at night (WHO/
UNICEF). This project also supports Sustainable
Development Goal 6 - Clean Water and
Sanitation for All, which we have committed to
support

Becoming a
corporate loominary with Toilet
Twinning
MediCinema is a charity that provides cinema
screenings to children in hospitals around the
country, injecting fun and escapism into lives
dominated by medical treatments.
MediCinema's response to the pandemic was
swift and impactful. Given the increased anxiety
and isolation in hospital patients due to the
pandemic and increased visiting restrictions,
they enabled over 11,023 patients to watch over
31,204 hours on their brand new MediCinema
bedside channel free of charge since March
2020. In addition, they delivered over 50,000
themed art and crafts packs especially for
children in hospital during the pandemic and
cinemas gradually reopened to patient bubbles
for socially distanced screenings.
Their funding was significantly impacted due to
impacts of Covid on the film/entertainment
industry, so we were happy to be able to
contribute £2,000 to their bridging fund, while
the entertainment industry recovers. L2
