Value for water
Company: South West Water
Right now, the growing population and climate change are impacting our planet. We need to take action and together we can make difference. Water is life. Teaching future generations about our precious water is how we'll be able to tackle some of the challenges we face.
Outcome: I created the value for water programme at South West Water, a programme which took two years of planning. Targeting future generations, the value for water is long-term programme that raises awareness about the importance of water and the role we have to conserve it. It's also designed to inspire children about the importance of environmental protection; what to flush, how working in partnership is helping to protect water quality, and how looking after our water helps look after the natural world which relies on it. To support this strategic approach, I came up with the idea and project managed South west Water's first educational visitor centre, aptly named 'value for water'. The visitor centre was a partnership project with South West Lakes Trust, we jointly appointed a local agency to deliver the project. At the same time, I recruited an educational officer in 2021. The educational officer created a new educational programme aligned to the value for water strategy and visited primary schools across South West Water's service area.
Year: 2021. I worked on this project whilst employed at Pennon Group Plc, the parent company of South West Water, the intellectual property of this project belongs to Pennon Group Plc. South West Lakes Trust also own the intellectual property for the visitor centre project.
