Sports groups’ chance to win water-saving devices to save them money to help clubs

To help grass-roots sports clubs in England save money to invest more in what they do, water retailer Water Plus has launched a competition to win water-saving devices.
 
It’s specifically for under 16’s sports clubs, is free to enter and the closing date for entries is 12 November, 2021.

It’s easy to enter, clubs just need to email water4sport@water-plus.co.uk and explain, in less than 150 words, how they’d benefit from water-saving devices.

With outdoor sport getting started again and restrictions expected to reduce further later this year, it’s worth taking a few minutes to enter, so you’re in with a chance of winning. And you can do this on social media too - using the hashtags #SportsClubSaveWater and #SportsClubWaterComp and tagging us on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.

And what results could your club see? Check out the savings this sports club has made this year already from installing some water efficiency devices

Scott MacIndeor, Head of Advanced Services at Water Plus, who works with sports and community groups and businesses across England and Scotland, said: “As we’ve got people working across England connecting with and supporting the communities where we’re working, we want to support sports clubs in saving money, by saving water. You can make savings of 20-30% on every day water use costs, just by fitting the right water-saving devices.
 
“In our competition, up to three sports clubs in England will win water-saving aerated shower heads, fitted by our experts. So, whether you’ve already got water-saving initiatives in place, or you’re new to the world of saving water, we want to hear about it and we want to help.”

The competition is open to sites, including council-owned parks with changing facilities, professional clubs and amateur clubs in England that provide sports activities for young people aged 16 and under.

Find the full terms and conditions for the competition here. Only one entry for a sports club/sports group will be considered during judging, so please submit just one entry for your sports group/club.

It’s worth remembering sports groups and community places, as well as other business sites, can speak to their water retailer during 2021 about the support they can offer including payment options, if organisations are struggling to pay water bills due to the impact of Covid-19.
