Thanks to all of the 9 families that joined us this morning for some fun!
This weeks theme was ice cream, and as you can see, we got a bit messy 😁

Some information from Southern Water, including the priority register and details of their household support fund:

✅ Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference:



As well as not using your hosepipe, other small changes at home can make a big difference in helping to keep taps flowing:

🔹 Turning the tap off while brushing your teeth
🔹 Keeping showers to four minutes where possible
🔹 Using the eco setting on your washing machine or dishwasher



🚨 Priority Services Register Customers

Customers on the Priority Services Register, particularly those with mobility or health needs, may still need to use their hosepipe during a ban. These customers are exempt from restrictions, but non-essential use should be avoided where possible.

Priority Services Register - Southern Water - Please remember our Priority Services Register is available for customers who may need extra support due to medical conditions, disabilities, age, mobility issues, or other vulnerabilities.



🏠 Hardship Fund



Hardship Fund - Southern Water - The Southern Water Hardship Fund may be able to provide:

✅ Debt write-off support of up to £3,000
✅ Grants towards essential household appliances and furniture of up to £1,000
✅ Homeless-to-Home support for white goods and essential items of up to £1,000
✅ One-off bill reductions of up to 50%



🌍 Every Drop Counts

Small changes add up quickly. A hosepipe uses 1,000 litres of water an hour – that's one person's weekly water use in just 60 minutes 💧.

By working together 🤝, we can help protect our local environment, safeguard our precious rivers, and ensure water remains available for everyone during this period of dry weather.
