Groups Water Bill

Help save your Scout Group £500 a year

Ofwat has instructed water companies to use a new way of charging Scout Groups for the drainage of water that falls on their property.
This could cost every local Group an additional £500 a year or more.
Our Stop the Rain Tax campaign calls for an exemption from these charges.
As part of the campaign, we’ll be holding a mass lobby of parliament on Wednesday 15 July 2009
Please join our campaign today by signing up online.
