Hi John,


Autumn’s here, the surf’s pumping, and the beach is (almost) all yours. Meanwhile, the government says today marks the official end of the ‘bathing season’, meaning no water quality testing 🤨🤨🤨 (more on that below).


The fight for clean water continues. Here’s how you can make the most of autumn with us:


💦 Take on Dip a Day, it kicks off tomorrow!


✊ Parents and teachers - The Pupil Power Assembly is this Friday.


👻 Join the Million Mile Scream - our spookiest big autumn clean yet.


Scroll on for all the details ⬇️

 

What's on this week

Today is the end of the ‘bathing season’ 🤨

That’s right, the government thinks people stop swimming, surfing or dipping in England and Wales from today. That means no more water quality testing to protect our health.


But are surfers really going to ignore the October swell? Or, is having a short, set bathing season completely nonsensical and misrepresenting how we actually use our waterways?


You can add your voice by telling us when you use your waterway. ⬇️

Have your say

Dip a Day kicks off tomorrow! 💦

Kickstart your October the best way possible – with a daily cold-water dip to boost your mood and help end sewage pollution. From sea swims to chilly showers, every dip energises you and fuels real change.


This is your last chance to join Dip A Day and make your October one to remember. Don’t miss out – the challenge starts tomorrow!

The Big Autumn Clean 👻

From 24th October – 2nd November, we’re calling on volunteers to hit the beach, streets, and riverbanks for a spooky half-term clean-up. 


The data you collect as you clean will feed into our upcoming Plastic Report — exposing the worst polluters and helping tackle plastic at the source.


Take part in our Halloween competitions for a chance to win a Hydro Flask and help make this the biggest, most impactful Million Mile Scream yet!
