Clash x WaterAid #BathroomSessions Fundraising Initiative Launches
First wave of performances announced...
*Clash* has partnered with *WaterAid* to launch a series of online performances throughout May featuring a fantastic line-up uniting some of our favourite artists.
The performances will run throughout May, with the series bringing together a global array of socially distanced performers, breaking down genre boundaries as we go.
The *#BathroomSessions* initiative will raise both money and awareness for WaterAid's life-saving work.
Washing your hands with soap is one of the most important ways to reduce spread of disease, yet two in five people globally lack adequate facilities in their homes.
WaterAid is racing to reach communities with clean water, handwashing facilities, and information about good hygiene so they can protect themselves in the fight against COVID-19. Find out more about WaterAid's global COVID-19 response *here*.

*Melanie C: "I'm really excited to be launching the Bathroom Sessions for WaterAid; it's great to be part of this unique online event series that's bringing together some amazing female talent while also raising money to help transform lives."*

*Eliza: “WaterAid has helped millions of people get clean water and good hygiene, and their work is even more urgent as the world fights Covid-19. It’s good to be working with the charity alongside other female artists on this event that is uniting people in their love for music while helping make a difference around the world.”*
