Our aim is to transform the future of rainwater management to help reduce surface water flooding and sewer spills into the environment. We connect organisations such as water companies and local authorities with communities who are passionate about change.
Our climate is changing and our water supplies are under increasing pressure. Through downpipe disconnection schemes we help communities to capture and preserve our most precious resource – our rainwater!
Our end-to-end service empowers rainwater management that works for communities. From sparking initial engagement, to managing sign-ups, and delivering installation, we streamline the process for the organisations, installers, and communities that we work with.
If we all work together to capture the rainwater falling on our roofs we can start to make a difference. Why are we letting this precious resource flow into the drain? If we all capture our rainwater, we might be able to help reduce surface water flooding, and sewer spills into our rivers. We can also store the water to use on the garden when the weather is dry.
Our innovative approach places positive engagement with communities at the heart of our platform. Through this we help water companies to demonstrate their commitment to deliver change. Our solution is both scalable and effective, offering measurable benefits for water companies and the communities they serve.
Our service, combined with our team's expertise, provides the systems required to bring local authorities and communities together. Our approach delivers innovative solutions for surface water flooding, sewage spills into the environment, and resilience against drought.
Our partnerships with schools are driving action to manage stormwater in more sustainable and creative ways. We are able to work with schools to provide custom learning materials, workshops, and activities that are designed to help students to become a core part of positive change in their schools and communities.
We spent two days with one of the largest primary schools in Europe... Ocklynge Junior School. Teaming up with Forest School Leader Mrs Lynsey Swingler, Our Education Consultant Nick Couzens along with help from Customer Engagement Officer Daniel Jones to deliver flood-prevention and STEM topics to an eager group of Year 4s & 5s. The Blue Heart Project funded scheme was a roaring success, with children asking us for more educational days like this!
Take a look outside, at your own front garden and what do you see?
Take a look up and down your street, is it mostly green or grey in your neighbours front gardens?
According to the Royal Horticultural Society, one in four front gardens are now completely paved over.
World Environmental Health Day falls on the 26th of September every year which is set by the International Federation of Environmental Health and its purpose is to raise awareness of the significance of the health of our environment. Urban spaces are a threat to our environment through Urban Creep which massively reduces refuge for wildlife. In this post we discuss the ways in which urban biodiversity can be helped and amplified by Sustainable Urban Drainage Solutions (SUDS).
