Due South customers provide over 1 million litres of clean drinking water to developing communities in need.

Since launching their innovative bottle for life campaign in April 2009 in conjunction with Brighton based Life Water & their charity drop4drop – the owners, customers & staff at Brighton beachfront restaurant have through their contributions supplied over 1,166,382 litres of fresh clean water to people in need.

Rather than selling still bottled water – adding to the waste of resources to create, transport & dispose of the empties – Due South bottles still water in-house, using a special filtration system that removes impurities such as chlorine, heavy metals, and lead while retaining essential minerals like magnesium and calcium.

The bottles are reused again and again, so there is no glass wastage and the charitable contribution of just £1 per bottle provides 3 months clean drinking water for a child in need.

“Having founded Due South with a commitment to sustainable & green ideals, using locally sourced seasonal produce wherever possible – the scheme with Life Water & their drop4drop charity was a natural step” says owner Robert Shenton. “It’s great to be giving something to those in need whilst also helping the environment & the overall response from our customers has been phenomenal.

We would like to thank all involved for their donations and we look forwards to raising more funds for those in need in the coming years”.
Drop4Drop are currently using money raised from the due South / Life water campaign to help fund water purification kits for the survivors of the Haiti earthquake – each kit contains water purification tablets & jerry cans to help ensure the provision of clean water to over 2400 individuals.
