How to fund your Schools Water Cooler

Water Coolers Direct have launched a campaign to help UK schools afford appropriate water systems by providing a range of funding solutions.

Fred Cairns Palmer, Managing Director, WaterCoolersDirect.com Ltd said “When attempting to source water systems that are appropriate for the school environment, schools are running into problems mostly relating to the hassle and expense of rental contracts, such as committing limited funds to an ongoing rental contract and opening the school to a third party contractor when the machines require sanitisation. With our new campaign we are hoping to help as many UK schools as possible provide access to water for their pupils.”

Water Coolers Direct boasts a long history of supporting schools in the UK and have recently agreed to donate a water cooler to Merton Parents for Better Food in School who are running a competition to see which of the 45 Primary schools in the borough can bring about the most significant changes as part of their ‘Dinning Room Experience’ competition.

The Water Coolers Direct ‘How to fund your Schools Water Cooler’ campaign allows schools to take advantage of the following benefits:

Purchasing a Cooler Outright brings its own Reward for Schools
Schools can avoid committing limited funds to an ongoing rental contract and can allow staff or cleaners to sanitise the cooler rather than being reliant on external contractors visiting the school.

Schools benefit from a £25 Discount on each Cooler Purchased
Water Coolers Direct are now offering all schools a further £25 discount on each cooler that they purchase.

Get Help Obtaining Corporate Sponsorship
Water Coolers Direct are providing all UK schools with a range of downloadable files, enabling them to approach local businesses and gain the required funding for their water cooler.

Wendy Davis of Price Davis said “My children are educated at the Croft Primary School and so I wanted my business Price Davis to sponsor a Water Cooler that would give all the children at the school access to healthy drinking water throughout the day. My children will benefit from a supply of healthy filtered water and the school will benefit from having a free resource. I would encourage other businesses to help out their local schools in the same way. I approached Water Coolers Direct because they are able to offer a wide range of coolers to purchase and they are already offering additional discounts to schools of £25 per cooler.”

England Captain Phil Vickery Helps Merton Parents for Better Food in School

Merton Parents for Better Food in School are running a competition to see which of the 45 Primary schools in the borough can bring about the most significant changes as part of their “Dinning Room Experience” competition. Water Coolers Direct.com Ltd have agreed to donate a Water Cooler as one of the main prizes and have enlisted the help of an England Rugby international player to make the presentation. WCD have approached none other than the captain, Phil Vickery, James Simpson Daniel, James Forrester and Pat Sanderson to ensure that at least one is available for the important day. (All are subject to availability)

Merton Parents for Better Food in School was started in April 2005 when parents in the borough of Merton became increasingly frustrated that the local authority was not listening to individual concerns about the quality of school food. The Dinning Room Experience Competition is about the whole dining experience. Many children complain about long queuing times, noisy halls, shrill whistles and confusion over the food on offer. The high profile competition has already gained the support of the Soil Association and the School Food Trust.

Jackie Schneider the Chairperson of Merton Parents comments that “We want schools to work together with children, catering staff and midday supervisors to have another look at their lunch time arrangements and see if they can make some improvements.”

Water Coolers Direct are an internet based company who buck the established trends of the water cooler industry, by freeing the consumer of cumbersome rental contracts and offering significant savings when they opt to buy their water cooler outright. Since inception the company has recognised the need for water provision in UK schools and has pushed a range of Fountains & Sinks especially targeted at the school market.

Fred Cairns Palmer the Managing Director of Water Coolers Direct said “We are recognised as being one of the first water cooler companies to take an active interest in the provision of water in schools. It’s our pleasure to donate the machine to Merton Parents and make use of our contacts in English Rugby to give their campaign an extra boost.”

The Water Cooler will be presented by one of the aforementioned England Rugby Players in June / July of this year.
