Hafren Dyfrdwy is kicking off the festive season in style, by going on tour!

The ‘Elfucation’ team are re-visiting schools to hand out goodie bags that include a fun activity pack, something for the children to do over the holidays.

Maxine Smith, Education Officer said: “We kicked off our very special festive tour last week by visiting  classes at Penygelli Community Primary, Buttington Trewern Primary School and Ardeleen CP Primary School.

“We just wanted to give something back to the schools and the children in them to say thanks for having us when we came with the Wonderful Water Tour earlier in the year and to give the children a gift and something fun to do over the holidays with their families with an educational theme.”

Hafren Dyfrdwy plan on visiting more schools across its region to spread the festive cheer and hand out the gifts that include an activity pack as well as pencils, book marks and more.

For the schools the team aren’t able to visit, a downloadable version of activity pack is available from the website for anyone to download here: hdcymru.co.uk/christmascrafts.

And there’s ‘myrrh’, as well as visiting schools, the company is also encouraging children to make their very own fat-catcher and share it on social media!

“It’s ‘snow’ joke that this time of year we find that horrid blockages can easily happen - caused by excess fats oils and grease being poured down the sink – so we thought why not encourage people to make their own fat catchers and share with us and other customers their brilliant creations!” Maxine continues, “Not only can this be fun, but it’s also a great way to  keep the sewer pipes happy over Christmas!”

Festive fat-catchers can be shared to the Hafren Dyfrdwy Facebook and Twitter Page, find us by searching @HDCymru.
