Veolia Water in Schools

‘The key activity by the Company is their Education centre and outreach programme run from Clay Lane. Having visited this site, it is clear that this must be an industry leading example. It is run as a serious education centre closely aligned with the national curriculum (it is certainly not just a marketing display). The centre is well used with over 18,000 children and adults educated by the centre in 2009/10.
