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 caught up with Dr Ed Barsley, co-designer of the Flood Resilient Garden, following a highly successful RHS Chelsea Flower Show!
At this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Flood Re in collaboration with Dr Ed Barsley and Naomi Slade, unveiled the pioneering Flood Resilient Garden.
We’re delighted this fantastic project was recognised by the 2024 Susdrains SuDS Awards as winner of the Regeneration and Retrofit category! Part funded by Thames Water and Ofwat’s Water Breakthrough Challenge, this incredible project was made possible in collaboration with the following project partners:
Thames Water, Groundwork, London Borough of Waltham Forest, London Borough of Lambeth, Farming Wildlife Advisory Group, Indepen and ISLE.
June 8th to 16th is The Great Big Green Week.
It is the biggest celebration of community-led action tackling climate change and protecting nature. 2022 saw over 250,000 people get involved!
Community action is the combined efforts of individuals, organisations and businesses and can produce hugely positive results, especially when focusing on issues of climate change and sustainability.
