For a Sustainable Future
The British Association of Cleaning in Higher Education (BACHE) is the primary association providing support for building cleaning and associated services within the Higher Education sector.
HEFCE provided start up funding for the association, which was formally launched in the spring of 2004.
BACHE aims to standardise training for cleaning staff (in higher education institutions), recognising the importance of professional cleaning activity.
BACHE helps higher education bodies and institutions in the UK and Ireland pull together and thereby achieve the ultimate aim of improving cleaning and giving campus environs an overall boost.
