Man in Bathtub Raises Funds for Recovery | Leeds News

from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Chris Sylvester, a long-term recovery advocate from Leeds, is taking a wild 60-hour bathtub sit-in in the city center to raise £50,000 for his charity Getting Clean — which makes soap with half the profits funding addiction recovery. His stunt, called ‘TUBtrap,’ lets the public “free” him by buying bars, with every purchase helping fund jobs and support for people rebuilding their lives. Already, a local business ordered 300 bars worth over £2,300 — translating to 25 hours of paid work for recovery programs. The campaign’s call to action? Get other businesses involved — buy soap, pay it forward, or support those entering treatment. It’s not just a bathtub stunt — it’s a community-driven movement turning everyday purchases into real-life change.
