Anglian Water’s @one Alliance colleagues took on Severn Trent WaterAid Mountain Challenge
Colleagues from Anglian Water’s @one Alliance recently swapped construction sites and offices for walking boots and rucksacks, as they took part in the Severn Trent WaterAid Mountain Challenge, raising money for WaterAid.
The challenge saw 10 colleagues take on demanding 20 mile route across the Peak District, setting off from Tittesworth Reservoir Visitor Centre near Leek, Staffordshire. The team self-navigated their way across the rugged landscape, testing their endurance, map-reading and orienteering skills while enjoying spectacular views along the route.
The event brought together colleagues from across the water industry, all united by a common purpose: to raise funds and awareness for WaterAid’s mission to bring clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to communities around the world.
All of the funds raised from the event will be going towards supporting WaterAid’s work in Bangladesh, helping communities gain access to the essential services needed to stay healthy and thrive.
For the @one Alliance team, the challenge represented more than just a physical test. It was an opportunity to support a cause that sits at the very heart of the water sector and to make a tangible difference to communities facing significant water and sanitation challenges.
Trish Bhatt, Senior Solutions Manager at the Anglian Water @one Alliance, said:
“Taking part in the Severn Trent WaterAid Mountain Challenge was both inspiring and immensely rewarding. It was fantastic to see colleagues from across the industry come together in support of such an important cause. Knowing that the funds we’ve raised will help provide access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene for communities in need made every step worthwhile, and I couldn’t be prouder of everyone who took part.”
Events such as the Mountain Challenge demonstrate the water industry’s collective commitment to supporting the charity’s vision of a world where everyone, everywhere has access to these basic necessities.
The challenge is another example of the Anglian Water @one Alliance’s commitment to creating a positive impact beyond the infrastructure it delivers, with colleagues continuing to support initiatives that improve lives and strengthen communities both in the UK and across the globe.
