For everybody, 2020 has been a difficult year. Nobody could have anticipated the impact Covid-19 would bring to our personal and business lives.

Just a Drop, WHA’s chosen charity, brings sustainable safe water, sanitation, and hygiene projects to communities across Asia, Africa and Latin America, transforming lives.

The WHA have set a target to achieve £10,302 to complete our 6th borehole in Zambia. Currently our target sits at £5889 – a little way to go!

With that in mind, the WHA and  Just a Drop have some quick, easy and fun ways to raise small amounts to help get to the target.

11th December – Christmas jumper day

17th – 31st December Christmas Quiz Night

17th – 31st December Virtual Carol Concert

We understand this year, of all years, everybody will be concentrating on matters nearer to home, but a small donation can make so much difference to people less privileged than ourselves.

Your donation will help provide safe clean drinking water to somebody this Christmas.

Thank you.

NEW TRADE BODY: WATER-DISPENSER & HYDRATION ASSOCIATION

Posted on by Phillipa ClowPosted in Events, Hydration, News, Press ReleaseLeave a Comment on NEW TRADE BODY: WATER-DISPENSER & HYDRATION ASSOCIATION

The UK water dispenser and hydration Industry is being revolutionised by the formation of a new trade body – the WHA (Water-dispenser & Hydration Association). This new association represents the amalgamation of the BWCA and the EDWCA, offering the Industry one strong voice and with unimpeachable standards, giving an audited mark of quality for Customers to look for, with unequalled support for operators.

The water cooler Industry has undergone a transformation over recent years, with companies expanding their portfolio to include HORECA products, water fountains, under-sink taps and hot water boilers, to now offer hydration solutions for all markets. This wide range of products and markets are all supported under the umbrella of the new ‘Water-dispenser & Hydration Association’.

The WHA will be launched on Thursday 19th March 2020 in Milton Keynes, at the DoubleTree by Hilton.  Entitled “Celebrating our Industry Evolution”, it will feature a morning conference, networking lunch, afternoon trade show and charity auction industry dinner.  A full day for the UK water dispenser and hydration industry to get behind this exciting initiative.
