🌟 Exciting News at Frank Water! 🌟 We’re thrilled to welcome Ryan Webb as our new Digital and Marketing Trustee. Ryan has been a valued supporter of Frank Water for several years. Ryan shares: "I'm delighted to have joined the Board of Frank Water. I've worked alongside the team for a few years now, supporting the Marketing Team, Fundraising, and as a 'Rainmaker Partner'. Getting more involved alongside the other Board members means I can support the team further with all their brilliant projects, ultimately working towards their vision of a global water system in which everyone, everywhere has enough safe water to stay healthy."

We are really happy to announce that SuDSPlanter Ltd have come on board as Frank Water's newest Rainmaker Partner! SuDSPlanter Ltd creates a uniquely designed rain garden – sometimes called a stormwater garden – which captures rainwater run-off from roofs, rather than leaving it to flow into the drains and sewers and potentially overloading the system. It’s a cleaner, greener and sustainable way to guard against today’s increasing risk of flooding and contamination; it provides stored water for use in dry or drought conditions; and is designed to cope in wet and dry environments, so more durable and long-lasting than typical planters. "We at SuDSPlanter Ltd® are really excited to be joining the Rainmaker club, partnering with Frank Water on our aligned values around the water cycle and water's worth at both a local and global level. The alignment of values between SuDSPlanter Ltd® and Frank Water has enabled a natural partnership to form at a crucial time for both the environment and society facing the challenges of our growing climate crisis.   We are really excited to be developing a combined education package for schools to access alongside a SuDSPlanter Ltd® offering which illustrates people’s commitment to water and it’s worth within the environments we live in." The charity will be working closely with the sustainable drainage company to educate the UK and further abroad about the importance of carefully managing our fresh water resources. We can't wait to get started on this journey!

Water is a basic human right, and today is the UN’s World Population Day, and we’re celebrating our 5th, Stand Up for Safe Water paddleboarding competition in Bristol. So far, we’ve raised £5,000 and 12 teams competed (in challenging weather conditions!) to bring safe water to more communities overseas. The money raised will go towards projects like spring rejuvenation in the mountainous Indian Himalayas and assessing the groundwater in the drought-prone state of Maharashtra. Communities in both regions face severe water issues, so we’re delighted that we’ll be able to support more remote villagers, particularly women who are instrumental in leading water-user groups and learning the skills to manage their water resources sustainably. A huge thank you to all 48 participants, volunteers, our partner SUP Bristol, the in-kind prize giveaways and goody bag items from FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH, Restore, Bird & Blend Tea Co. B Corp, Kabuto Noodles, Boundless, OceanSaver, Butcombe Brewing Co. and the delicious 'handy pies' from Pieminister, and Bristol legend Olympic bronze medallist Jenny Jones for making our event a huge success! 💙 There’s still time to support our teams and make a difference, head to our website to donate: https://lnkd.in/e-au2UE7 🙏 📷 Richard Johnson #FrankWaterCharity #SUPBristol #Bristol
