Co-op buyer spreads the water word

The Co-operative has been promoting its "water for water" initiative - which raises money for clean water systems in Africa - to British schoolchildren.

The retailer has teamed up with charity The One Foundation to raise money for PlayPump Water Systems powered by a playground-style roundabout to pump clean water.

The retailer hopes to donate enough money from the sale of bottles of The Co-operative Fairbourne Springs mineral water to fund the installation of 100 PlayPumps a year.

Co-op water buyer Ed Reaney visited St Joseph's RC Primary School in Manchester to explain the concept.
