Albany Max - fun hand hygiene training

Albany Max is an animated character on a mission to teach children and adults the importance of correct hand hygiene practices.

Since 2006, more than 300,000 children between the ages of 4 and 11 have been taught how to wash and dry their hands correctly by Max 4 Health, via a schools hand hygiene education programme called ‘Hands up for Max’. This programme communicates the vital importance of hygienic hand washing for children to ensure that pupils learn correct practices from an early age.

Albany Max (exclusively licensed for use in the UK’s independent schools) is a loveable, larger than life character who, via the Albany Max road show, makes teaching hand washing hygiene fun for children of all ages.
