Of late, news headlines are full of cost-of-living increases and environmental impact stories, meaning it can be difficult to see how we can make a difference.
Our brand-new AKW Water & Energy Cost Saving Guide gives practical tips for social landlords, care home operators, and residents alike, on how small changes can lead to big savings, both environmentally and financially, over time.
We’ve all seen how wider global events have triggered spiralling gas and electric bills for businesses and homes, and with global warming now about damage limitation rather than avoidance, many are wondering what are the facts, and what can each of us do to make life easier for tenants and residents?

AKW Water Saving Challenge
To coincide with the launch of our new guide, we’re inviting you to join the #AKWWaterSavingChallenge which aims to encourage those who are able to try and keep to a 5-minute time limit when showering, with statistics showing that we typically use up to 150 litres of water during a 10-minute shower!
To get started, we’re giving away free 5-minute shower timers which you and your residents can stick to bathroom tiles, wall panels, or shower screens using a handy suction cup, and can be used to keep track of time spent in the shower.
Want to get involved? Here’s how…
Join the AKW Water Saving Challenge and you could WIN a £100 gift voucher for a supermarket of your choice. Simply:
+ Request your free 5-minute shower timer from AKW
+ Follow AKW on your favourite social media platform
+ Take a picture of the shower timer in your bathroom
+ Tag AKW and share using #AKWWaterSavingChallenge
