Supporting the Calvert Trust

February 18, 2021

We believe it’s important to go the extra mile for causes we believe in. For many years, Envireau Water has been taking part in annual walks and other team building challenges, all in the name of a brilliant charity, the Calvert Trust


The charity’s mission is to enable people with disabilities to benefit from outdoor activities in the countryside. If we have learnt anything from the last twelve months, it’s how important outdoor space is to our mental and physical wellbeing and how disheartening it can be to have your freedom restricted. 


We are very conscious of the ongoing financial impacts to charities from the pandemic. Whist we have been prevented from getting together to scale mountains and clock up those miles to raise funds in the normal way, we are thrilled to announce that we have donated £5,000 to the Calvert Trust’s Exmoor & Lake District sites. We know that more is needed but hope this goes a little way to keeping both centres operational and look forward to them reopening later this year.

If you’re wondering how you can join us in helping such a fantastic charity bounce back, please take a look at the links below. After all, like the Calvert Trust says, ‘it’s what you can do that counts.’

We're always excited to see our team grow, and we are thrilled to welcome Hannah to the team. Hannah joined our Scotland office at the end of June to gain some hydrogeological experience alongside completing her university studies, and we look forward to welcoming her officially in September where she will begin her career as a Hydrogeologist. Prior to joining, Hannah completed a BSc in Environmental Sciences at University of Glasgow and is currently working towards completing an MSc in Hydrogeology at the University of Strathclyde. During her masters and undergraduate degree, Hannah has participated in various fieldwork activities where she developed an in-depth understanding of applied hydrology, soil analysis and mapping techniques.

Desertification and drought are two of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century. Exacerbated by climate change, the devastating effects of both can be felt across the globe, with an estimated 40% of the world's population impacted by water scarcity events. As global temperatures continue to rise, and severe weather events increase, regions across the globe face the potential for increased frequency and severity of droughts, often progressing rapidly and unexpectedly. As of 29th May this year, a drought was officially declared in parts of the UK, having experienced the driest start to Spring in over 130 years. Whilst the recent rainfall at the start of June has helped to stabilise concerns, uncertainty for the months ahead still remain. How is the UK landscape affected by drought?
