Caring Families

What do strong, happy families have in common? It’s not about material things, expensive holidays or posing for picture-perfect selfies together. It’s about being there for each other when it matters most.

Strong families:

Make their relationships a priority.
Communicate openly about big and small issues.
Talk about their feelings.
Spend time together, and regularly enjoy mealtimes together.
Look after themselves and each other.
Work together in times of stress and crisis.

Make it a priority to spend quality time together as a family, and you’ll soon start to see positive change and growth in your relationships.

Consumer Tip

Saving water isn’t just about being kind to the planet – it’s also a great way to go easier on your wallet every month. Here are a few easy ways to save money while saving water:

Take short showers instead of baths.
Fix all leaking and dripping taps in your house.
Wash your laundry using cold water instead of hot.
Turn off the tap while you’re brushing your teeth or washing the dishes.
Wash your fruits and veggies in a pan or tub, instead of running them straight under the tap.
In the garden, use a watering can instead of a hosepipe.
Water your plants in the early morning or evening, so that the water evaporates more slowly.
Wash your car using a bucket instead of a hosepipe.

Just a few small changes can make a big difference to your water bill!
