As a general rule, bathrooms are not a place that we like to spend a lot of time in. They are germy. They are small. They are just places that we all have to make use of several times a day. What if you could update your bathroom and make it nicer? Make it more sanitary and beautiful? Would you do it? Most people unanimously say that they would. We say, enhancing the beauty of a bathroom just got easier. A smart drain floor trap will not only make it a nicer room to visit, but one that feels cleaner as well.

Enhance Your Space

We have all gone into a bathroom and see a drain in the floor that is unappealing, perhaps even gross to look at. This is not normally something we think of as a way to add more style to a bathroom. They are just kind of there. Sticking out like thumbtacks in a box of safety pins. You wouldn’t want that ugly thing in your bathroom, shower, kitchen, or pool area. Why would you?

However, there is usually a need for them in some situations. A new drain, the ones that are available today, look so perfect that you may change your mind. They come in a variety of colors. Some even manage to look invisible.

The Beauty of Drains

The idea that a drain could be “pretty” is a foreign concept, but it is also one that is factual. A floor drain doesn’t have to take away from the style of your walk-in shower. If you have a tile floor, you can add a drain that blends into the floor. Tile drains look like a piece of marble tile. One that will never allow water to stand. In bathrooms where you try to stay true to an overall theme, you may choose to have a traditional look. This is easy, but it can also be nicer. There are sterling silver drains and brass. They can have the holes you are used to seeing or they could have a plate to hide the holes. You get to choose.

Enhanced Functionality

A smart drain floor trap can also make things more user-friendly. They can block a lot of the gunk that usually gets into our pipes. This means you will have fewer clogs as the years’ pass. In outdoor areas where you want a drain, you can also avoid worrying that your drain is a breeding ground for insects. Anti-mosquito traps are available. This is great news for most people. Are you ready to see what your drain can become?

AFC Wimbledon is a professional Football League Two club, which is currently celebrating its 10-year anniversary.  The club is still owned by its supporters via the one-fan, one-vote Dons Trust. The Dons Trust has continued to finance the club’s rise throughout the past decade, starting by raising the funds needed to buy the Cherry Red Records Stadium. Since our formation, the club’s officials, supporters and 300 volunteers have organised a number of community initiatives. Activities have included improving literacy in young adults, putting on art classes for those local people with learning difficulties, and providing football skills coaching in the community.

What are the Big Society Awards?

The Big Society award has been created to recognise individuals, groups or organisations that are demonstrating the Big Society in their work or activities.

What is the Big Society?

The Big Society is about moving power away from central government and giving it to local communities and individuals. It has three main aims:

Empowering communities – helping and enabling local people to have more of a say in how decisions are made in their area and about the services they receive.

Changing and opening up public services – encouraging public sector organisations and individuals to demonstrate new and innovative ways of delivering public services and enabling charities, social enterprises, private companies to deliver public services.

Promoting social action – encouraging people to be more involved in their communities and to volunteer and give money.

Who can make a nomination?

Anyone, including people who benefit from the group, organisation or individuals activities, may make a nomination.

Nomination should have at least one other independent person that has agreed to second the nomination. This person should not be on the committee of your organisation or be family or close friends.

You can nominate yourself or the organisation you run, work for or are involved with but, if you do, there must always be two independent people that have agreed to second the nomination.

Occasionally, the Prime Minister may himself personally nominate an organisation that he believes exemplifies the Big Society.

The Big Society Awards were set up by the Prime Minister in November 2010.

Twelve winners are decided each quarter and then announced once a week throughout the year. Winners receive an invitation to an evening reception at No.10 Downing Street and enjoy an afternoon of networking and sharing their stories with other winners and organisations, with practical sessions that provide useful takeaways for the winners.

You can nominate yourself or the organisation you run, work for or are involved with (and you will need two independent people to second the nomination).

If you are nominating another individual or organisation you must have at least one other independent person that has agreed to second the nomination (two if you are not independent of those you wish to nominate).

The Awards are an ongoing process – there are four rounds a year. So if you miss one nomination deadline, there will be another a few months later.
