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.

Posted on by Phillipa ClowPosted in Events, News, Regulations & Legislation, TrainingLeave a Comment on WHA plans 2021 training to maintain standards

Training is a pillar of membership and an essential part of the Association.  Members must undergo appropriate hygiene and operational training.  As the world begins to re-emerge, the focus will fall on hygiene more than ever.  The WHA are therefore offering relevant training courses flexibly whilst maintaining strict safety and hygiene protocols.

  • In-house Hygiene Awareness courses
  • External Regional Hygiene Awareness Course
  • Virtual Regional Hygiene Awareness Course

The WHA are confident that they are offering Members training options both to meet their concerns and to ensure that high hygiene standards are maintained.

A full 2021 Training Diary is available to Members on the website including:  Hygiene, Plant Operators, Installation & WRAS, Distribution Management and Crisis Management.

 

Businesses encouraged to get more coolers to assist social distancing

Posted on by Phillipa ClowPosted in Hydration, News, UncategorisedLeave a Comment on Businesses encouraged to get more coolers to assist social distancing

The traditional chat around the water dispenser isn’t currently possible at the moment with the need for social distancing.   However, it is important to remind people of the benefits of healthy hydration, especially at this time when maintaining optimum health is so important.

We learn from Members that many companies are having more water dispensers in their premises – so that fewer people are using each machine.  This also encourages employees to drink more as the dispensers are more obviously placed around the premises.

For more information on maintaining your water dispensers, the WHA have issued “Essential Care of Your Water Dispenser”
