Story

We dream of wild, healthy, natural rivers valued by all but to get there, we need to talk about pollution.

There is currently only one designated bathing water in a UK river and its classed as poor quality. This means recreational river usersanglers, swimmers, canoeists, paddlers, you name itare at risk every time they wade in to the water. With your help, we can change that.

We want to introduce bathing water standards for well-used rivers across the UK, so you can swim, paddle, catch and play without worrying about pollution.

To do this, we need to create a comprehensive national monitoring programme, so we can observe the scale of the problem and provide strong data to back up our case. However, we need your support; without your donations, we simply cannot gather data on the scale necessary to see bathing water standards introduced.

Its time to wade in. Together, for rivers.
