Winners of the CHSA’s 2025 Bursary Announced

Four young people to receive £6,000 during their university career

Four talented young people have been selected to receive the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association’s (CHSA) 2025 Bursary. The Bursary is open only to the children of CHSA members’ employees.

Following a panel interview, chaired by David Garcia, Vice President and Treasurer of the CHSA, Ruby Burgess, Thomas Baker, Lottie Harrison and Rose Lewis were selected as the recipients. The four recipients will each receive £6,000 over the course of their university career, paid in three instalments. At the start of each academic year, or the first three years if the degree is longer, the successful applicants will receive £2,000.

  • Ruby Burgess is to study a BSc in Geography at Lancaster University. Her father works at Diversey UK.
  • Thomas Baker, whose father works at CJS Portsmouth, intends to study a BSc in Plant Science at Cornwall College University Centre at the Eden Project.
  • Lottie Harrison, whose grandfather works at Evans Vanodine, is to study Psychology with Counselling at Manchester Metropolitan University.
  • Rose Lewis is to study a BA in Animation Production at Arts University Bournemouth. Her father works at Karcher.

Since it was first awarded in 2016 in its current form, 25 young people have benefited from the financial support offered by the Bursary. It has made it possible for them to capitalize on the potential of all that is on offer at university. They have used it to pay for books and study materials, field trips and club memberships.

Applicants were assessed according to need, worthiness endeavour, and overall performance.

David Garcia explained: “The Bursary is incredibly important to the CHSA. We are very proud of the opportunity to give something back in such a tangible way. It is a delight to receive updates from the successful applicants, telling us how they are getting on and their plans and aspirations for the future.

“Meeting these talented young people is always a pleasure but making the final decision is a challenge. The calibre this year was particularly high, making it harder than ever to reach the final decision. We debate and discuss before settling on the final winners, considering their commitment, determination, capability and, finally, the special x-factor. I wish we could award the bursary to them all.   We very much hope the final four, and all the applicants, enjoy their time and university.”
