Hi there we are an ethical charity linked water, donating bottles of spring water that we cannot sell as the expiry date is end of April. We are happy to give these to any event / charity that is interested - must be an April event.

We can deliver 500 bottles and you just pay for delivery - est £40. Or 1000 bottles would be est £55 delivery.

These are 750ml bottles of spring water, with sportscaps.

We know the water itself is fine for another year but cannot sell it to clients.

We do not want to see these go to waste and have already arranged for 1000 bottles to go to a Great Ormond Street event next week - please PM me ASAP if interested.

    Yes, but it has its uses when you are out and about and don't want to carry all you'll need from the start!

    I don't know if FareShare can help you get this used?

    I was told by a friend of mine he carries tap water in a bottle. Anyway Mr Woolas the Enviornment Minister doesn't think it's moral.

    Just to clarify - the water has now been given away to our contacts, mostly charities who can make use of the water. We are called Life, we feel that our water is the lesser of many evils as we use 100% recyclable bottles (which many others claim to offer but do not) and also we donate 1litre of water to the charity Drop4drop for every 1 litre we sell. Our water is not imported, is 100% recyclable bottle and comes from Wales, not abroad so please support British. If we can afford to do this, it is our hope that the bigger & richer bottled waters can do as well but for now we will lead by example.

    I dont think you are a charity called Life, as Life is the charity which supports pregnant women who are considering an abortion. Although I see drop4drop is a registered charity.

    Hi Fengirl, I think you misunderstood - please re-read my post - we are called Life water but we donate to charity called drop4drop.
