Eden Springs offer free bottled water to fundraisers
Howard Lake | 8 March 2012 | News
Water dispenser company Eden Springs UK Ltd is again offering 1,000 cases of bottled water to anyone fundraising for charity in the UK. The offer follows a successful trial of the initiative last year.
Individual charity fundraisers can apply for a case of 12 500ml bottles of Eden water to be delivered to their work address at no charge, “ready to help raise money and awareness no matter what the event”.
Event organisers and group fundraising activities can also apply to receive the free bottled water, but of course Eden Springs will consider each application on its merits.
Beneficiaries of last year’s offer included The Children’s Trust. Angie Turner, Head of Corporate Partnerships at the charity, told UK Fundraising:
“Eden Water have been fantastic and really help charities around the UK save money on their events.
“We have used the water that was kindly donated at our Sleepwalks around the UK and at our Easter Fair and Summer Fairs. It’s a great initiative and helped us raise more money to help children with profound disabilities around the UK.”
This year the company will be supporting Macmillan Cancer Support by providing water to Macmillan Challenge Event participants taking part in events such as the London Marathon.
Any charity can also receive a donation of £30 for each installation order for a water cooler that it generates. Eden Springs suggests inviting corporate supporters to order in a charity’s name.
