It is World Water Day today – Monday 22nd March! Supporting Just a Drop and their #stepstowater campaign, Tracy Corroll and Phillipa Atkinson-Clow at the WHA are wearing blue and each donating £5 to the WHA Just Giving Page.
We will also be tracking our steps this week and donating 1p per step to bring safe water to communities that don’t have basic access to clean, safe water – transforming lives. You can do the same!
Back to school with healthy hydration – research has shown that 6 out of 10 children are thought to arrive at school dehydrated. Even a 1% drop in hydration can affect physical and academic performance – a poor way to start the day! See Why Water Matters for Children.
Schools need to get the water message across – water is a ‘cool’ drink in every sense. Water from a water dispenser is convenient, tastes good and provides a visual reminder to drink healthily. Choose a supplier that is a Member of the Water-dispenser and Hydration Association (WHA). The WHA is the leading trade body which ensures standards of safety and hygiene that are top of the class.
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.

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.
