Welcome to the Sparkling Water Team Page

We are a team of four colleagues/friends from Wessex Water. Two very experienced Sparkies and two very experienced Co-ordinators. With all our skills put together, we believe we will do well in this Challenge.

On Saturday 21st February we will be Stepping up for WaterAid in a powerful 5km fundraising event like no other. Teams will tackle a route packed with physical, mental, and team-building challenges — all whilst carrying a symbolic weight of sand.

These obstacles are designed to reflect the daily struggles faced by communities in developing countries, where people walk for miles carrying heavy loads just to access clean water.

This is more than a walk — it’s a test of endurance, teamwork, and compassion.

Please could you support us by donating any amount you can, nothing is too small. Please forward it to friends, family and colleagues.

We thank you for supporting our team and this great charity for Water Aid.

Thank you

Sparkling Water Team

TRAILBLAZERS:

The Trailblazers programme, set up by Wessex Water and the WaterAid Committee, is a professional development programme that empowers those looking to gain project management experience and provides an opportunity to run their own WaterAid fundraising event.

All participants receive training from Wessex Water to equip them with the skills and knowledge to deliver an event that raises money for WaterAid

WATERAID:

WaterAid is an international not-for-profit, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation. Only by tackling these three essentials in ways that last can people change their lives for good.

Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of everyone’s daily life. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.

Worldwide, 703 million people – almost 1 in 10 of us – don’t have clean water close to home and 1.5 billion people don't have a decent toilet of their own.

Lets be the power that can help change that!

£5 – Cup of coffee

Donating the equivalent cost of a cup of coffee each month over a year could help buy a concrete wash basin for a school toilet in Chinganji, Malawi, promoting good hygiene practices.

£15 – Takeaway Pizza

Donating the equivalent cost of a takeaway pizza could help pay for 10 metres of pipes to distribute clean water in Chinganji, Malawi.

These figures are certainly food for thought!
