By now, we hope, you’re all aware of what we at AquAid are all about. We are a premium water cooler supplier who has been supplying a range of high quality water coolers and water related products to our customers, the length and breadth of the U.K. for more than 25 years.
More than being a water cooler supplier though, AquAid has, since our inception, had a strongly rooted ethos about helping those less fortunate. We do this through the support of ‘water’ based charities that provide sustainable solutions to Third World countries globally, but with a focus on countries in Africa.
AquAid mainly support two charities, being Christian Aid and since 2010, The Africa Trust. Since AquAid’s humble beginnings in 1992, we have, to date, donated more than £12 million to charity and assisted more than 2,4 million people.

If you’re in Carlisle, in just under two hours you can make the drive to Piel Island where the landlord of the Ship Inn is known as the King of Piel Island and he will make you a knight if you buy a round of drinks for everyone present. Plus, if you are ever shipwrecked on the Island, you will be watered and fed for free!

Newcastle has seven bridges crossing the river in the space of half a mile. Tyne Bridge is said to have inspired Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia; High Level Bridge was the first in the world to combine road and rail; Swing Bride pioneered the use of hydroelectric power; and the Millennium Bridge was the world’s first bridge to pivot sideways in order to allow boats through.
Newcastle University is one of the best in the world and, according to QS World 2016 university rankings; it ranked in the top 1% of Universities worldwide.
And ending with a bit of irreverence: The Geordie accent has been voted one of the friendliest in Britain.
