Man I'm dreaming a lot at the moment. This time I was sunbathing with a group of friends and fell asleep. When I woke up one of the friends was talking about how we complain (I - lol) about longing for a bubble bath but there are children in the world who long for just a cup of clean water. Now that one is an easy message to understand! So today I'm plugging the work of Water Aid.
"Water Aid transforms lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in the world's poorest communities. We work with partners and influence decision-makers to maximise their impact."
"Water Aid aims to be inclusive in all that we do. We work with economically poor and marginalised people who often miss out such as women and girls, those living with HIV/AIDS, minority ethnic groups, older and disabled people and those who face discrimination. The needs and voices of the communities we work with, our staff, volunteers, partners and stakeholders shape our policy and practice."
Onto Bridges. I'm very proud of Simon who today is off down to Westminster to the Institution of Civil Engineers to collect an award for the refurbishment of Wilton Suspension Bridge in Nottinghamshire. The bridge is a Grade II listed structure, and is over 100 years old. They won a commendation for the work in a regional competition last year and were put forward for the national awards and have won a commendation there too. This is of course, great news for business - they get a free page of advertising in the NCE magazine and also can display the award logo on their website - when I get round to finishing it that is!
