CommunityLondonAdvocate for clean waterways through Surfers Against Sewage River ActionSpeak up for rivers that should be swimmable SAS River Action helps residents challenge sewage pollution: petitions, sample requests, and media toolkits that turn anger into organised pressure. What you can do - Join River Action campaigns targeting your catchment - Request water company monitoring data and share results at parish meetings - Pair advocacy with FreshWater Watch sampling so stories have numbers behind them How it works Campaign coaches help you set goals: legal letters, councillor questions, or community monitoring. Wins get celebrated publicly to recruit more neighbours. Why it matters Rivers belong to everyone who walks their banks: organised voices restore trust and funding for real infrastructure fixes.
