Hi John,

We’ve just uncovered that over half of people in England don’t trust the government to end the sewage crisis. Surprising? No. Proof of the government’s total failure to rein in greedy water companies? Absolutely.

Because, honestly, who can trust this broken system?

In 2025 alone, sewage has poured into our rivers and seas more than 158,000 times. Since January, over 500 people have reported getting sick through our app. And there have been 54 days where more than 1,000 sewage discharges happened in a single day.

Meanwhile, water companies keep prioritising profit over our health, paying billions to shareholders while our blue spaces become dumping grounds.

We refuse to stay silent while our waters are turned into sewers.

So today, we took your voices to London. We were there to put pressure on the Independent Water Commission before they deliver their final report this month.

Our message was clear: Tinkering around the edges won’t cut it. We need radical reform of the water industry. ✊

I know how heartbreaking it is to see your favourite beach under a sewage alert, or hear that a friend has gotten sick after a swim. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Right now, we have a critical chance to push MPs to act — and we need you with us.

Will you email your MP today and demand real reform to end sewage pollution once and for all? 👇

We’re fighting for clean, safe water for everyone — for those sunrise surfs, salty swims, and future generations who deserve thriving oceans.

Thank you for standing with us, John. Together, we can make sure the government hears us loud and clear: No more sewage. No more excuses.

In surf and solidarity 🌊
