Hi there,
Do you have an unwanted or damaged balance bike(s) which you would like to donate to a great cause? My partner and I are doing some running repairs on our children’s daycare fleet of balance bikes and replacement parts are hard to come by.

Do you have an unwanted or damaged balance bike(s) which you would like to donate to a great cause? My partner and I are doing some running repairs on our children’s daycare fleet of balance bikes and replacement parts are hard to come by.
If you have one lying about that you no longer need please get in touch - we are happy to collect.
Cheers :-)

This graph shows our water use from June 5 – July 4 over the past 3 years. With the green line showing the maximum target of what we can comfortably supply - we need to keep below this line!
As you can see our use is much higher than in the past couple of years, and if we have a really dry spring we could need some serious water restrictions in summer.
Here are some ways to #loveeverydrop💙
- Shorten your showers (even cutting back by 1 minute can save up to 18 litres!) 🚿
- Turn off the tap when shaving or brushing your teeth
- Only put full loads of washing on at a time 👕👖
- Share your water saving tips with friends and family!

These nasty blockages are a nightmare for the wastewater network, and our crew has to clear them out, sometimes by hand.
The only way to stop them? Only flush the 3 P’s (poo, pee and toilet paper), and don’t let fats and oils down the sink 💩🚽🧻
