Volunteers
Some of the People That Make It Work!
Volunteers are an integral part of the H2O Heroes team. Our volunteers demonstrate at school visits, festival workshops and open days, bringing their love of science to children, their parents and the general public.

H2O Heroes Mascot
Walter the Water Drop
Walter is a water drop and the mascot for H2O Heroes, he often attends events and likes to talk about the water cycle.
Walter has alot of ambition and is convinced that he is in fact a cloud rather than a single raindrop. His favourite colour is blue and he loves swimming in clean water.
Who are We
H2O Heroes Beginnings
Dr. Suzanne Linnane, Dr. Caroline Gilleran Stephens and Kelsey Hammond set up H2O Heroes in 2017 to educate children about the importance and the magic of water…..it is pretty amazing.
Caroline and Suzanne work together to co-ordinate the H2O Heroes programme and bring real life science and lots of fun to primary schools, sadly Kelsey has returned to sunny California, we miss her!
Suzanne and Caroline are both lecturers in DkIT, in the Department of Agriculture, Food and Animal Health but you will often find them in a river or a lake.
They both love to ask questions and carry out lots of interesting environmental research in the Centre for Freshwater and Environmental Studies (CFES) at DkIT. Suzanne and Caroline love dogs, cake and all things water.
