Hi John,

Summer might be coming to an end, but the fight for our blue spaces is only just heating up. As we head back to school and work, it’s time to look forward - to a future that depends on healthy seas, rivers and lakes. 🌊

This month’s newsletter is packed with free and accessible ways to deepen your connection to the ocean, for good.

Take your pick:

💩 Get real-time sewage alerts for Scotland (a first!) and the rest of the UK on our free app

✊ Inspire and educate the next generation of Ocean Activists with our Pupil Power Assembly

💙 Protect the ocean for good this September by making your will for free

💦 Connect with your local waterway and community by joining Dip a Day in October

Scotland’s first ever sewage alerts are live on our app

For the first time ever, water lovers in Scotland can get real-time pollution alerts through our Safer Seas & Rivers Service app. 

Scottish Water has never provided live sewage alerts, so we’ve stepped in. Our alerts in Scotland fire when sewage is dumped within 2km of a bathing site — giving you the best available info to make safer choices.

With sewage alerts now live across England, Wales and Scotland on our app, we’ll keep pushing until every water company is fully transparent and every surfer, swimmer and sea lover can enjoy clean waters.

Download the free app today to check your local waterway. ⬇

The Pupil Power Assembly is BACK

On Friday 3rd October 2025, thousands of pupils across the UK will tune in for an action-packed online assembly. We'll be exploring our connection to the ocean and how we can use creativity and activism to protect it. ✊

The assembly is totally free and it's open to schools, youth groups, homeschoolers and families.

Protect the ocean you love, for good

What legacy will you leave behind? By leaving a gift in your will to Surfers Against Sewage, you’ll help safeguard our seas and rivers for future generations.

This September, we’ve teamed up with the UK’s favourite will-writing specialists Farewill to offer a limited number of free wills worth £100. And it only takes 15 minutes.

Every gift leaves a lasting impact:

💙 1% of your estate could fuel our fight against sewage.

💙 5% could help end plastic pollution.

💙 10% could tackle toxic chemicals in our waters.

Take on Dip a Day in October!

This October, why not take on a cold-water dip each day to boost your wellbeing and raise vital funds to end sewage pollution? From sea swims to cold showers, every dip fuels change. 💦

Our wild waters give us energy, calm and connection. Dip a Day is your chance to give back – and have an epic time doing so.
