**The Co-operative Pharmacy is raising funds for UNICEF through sales of its antibacterial
handwash. For each sale of the 250ml marked hand wash, The Co-operative Pharmacy
will donate 15p to UNICEF**

The handwash went on sale in more than 600 participating stores of The Co-operative
Pharmacy from 3 February and is priced at 80p.

The UK’s third largest retail pharmacy is continuing its work with the leading children’s
organisation as part of a three year initiative to champion sanitation in Togo, 
West Africa. Money donated from the marked packs will go towards a community development
project to help develop sanitation in the country.

John Nuttall, Managing Director of The Co-operative Pharmacy, said: “The money donated
will help to support an existing community development project that The Co-operative
Pharmacy has already donated £400,000 towards. This aims to provide 7,800 latrines,
reaching 195,000 people in 390 villages.”
