Successful delivery of environmental education programme

Gibber’s Think Before You Flush theatre in education programme with United Utilities has engaged and inspired over 4000 young people to stop flushing wet wipes.

A total of 27 interactive, magazine style performances and workshops took place in schools across the North West of England. Informing students in Year 7 and 8 about the damage flushing wet wipes down the toilet and pouring fats, oils and grease down the sink can do. Therefore helping to reduce blockages and sewer flooding to homes, gardens, rivers and beaches.
