Dear John,

I emailed last month to tell you how our rivers, lakes and seas are threatened by corporate pollution. And to highlight how we’re taking action – in just a few weeks nearly 25,000 people have signed our petition demanding that the government takes action.

Because it’s been dragging its feet.

The government promised to crack down on water pollution more than a year ago. The Water Commission told it urgent action was needed last summer. But it took until January for a published vision for water to emerge. And MPs won’t see an expected new water law for months.

Meanwhile, corporates – the water companies, industrial farms and other industries – are pocketing massive profits from environmental ruin.

This needs to change. Urgently. Will you help to make that change happen? Our campaign for clean water needs your support – with a donation you can make 2026 the year polluters clean up their act.

Whether it’s water companies pumping sewage into our seas, toxic slurry from factory farms or forever chemicals seeping into waterways – polluters are still contaminating our water.

The new water bill will come out later this year. And it  could finally hold polluters to account. But there’s a risk this new law will let them off the hook again.

We can’t let that happen.

Unlike the corporations, our work relies on donations from people like you – we’re truly people powered. We need you to make our successes possible.

Will you help us get a win for water in 2026?

With hope,  

Kierra
