OUR SUPPORTERS

Bear Grylls

Adventurer and Writer

“This has gone on for far too long and, as everyone knows, rivers are the bloodline and life of the land … we have a moral and civic obligation as a nation to protect and sort this horrific issue out. Our rivers are life.”

Caroline Lucas

Former MP & Co-leader of the Green Party

"Privatised water companies have dumped raw sewage in our rivers and seas, failed to upgrade Victorian infrastructure, and handed huge dividends to their own shareholders, all while the regulators have failed to regulate.
Nothing less than a complete overhaul of the system will be enough to restore our precious waterways, starting with bringing water companies back into public hands."

Chris Packham

Naturalist and nature photographer

"We are a nation of shopkeepers swimming in a sewer, so what does that say about us? It says it's time to close the till and cut the crap. I'm sick of being ripped off, fobbed-off, lied to and poisoned by greedy rich bastards, inept regulators and lazy governments. Let's spill out of the rivers and onto the streets and put the shits up them.”

Lewis Pugh

Endurance swimmer and ocean advocate

"When we pour industrial waste, agricultural run-off, raw sewage and plastic pollution into our rivers, we not only kill the river but all life in it. And everything that goes into a river ultimately flows into the sea and does the same thing there. Rivers and oceans should never be our dumping grounds"

Deborah Meaden

Businessperson, TV host, and author

"As a business leader deeply committed to sustainable investing and a passionate advocate for nature, it is clear that we must protect our precious waterways from pollution. No business should be allowed to profit at the expense of our rivers, seas, and lakes. It's time for our elected leaders to take decisive action and restore our waterways to full health."

Jo Bateman

Wild Swimmer

“I’m joining the March For Clean Water because I want to protect our right to swim in clean waters. But more than that, it’s not just about water users, its about the whole population globally. We need to keep our waters clean because our oceans are vital to the survival of all of us on this planet.”

Robert Macfarlane

Writer

"Folks—Britain’s waterways are dying. We know this now. Our rivers are on life support. So on 03 Nov come to London & join the march to demand change & reclaim the right to clean water.”

Water is life.

Yet here, in Britain, it's on life support. 

We are marching to reclaim our right to clean, healthy and abundant water for all people across the UK.

March for Clean Water is a national gathering of all those concerned and outraged about the state of our waterways. 

Together, we can resolve this public health emergency by demanding the new government enforce the current law and deliver new legislation that will end all pollution, and restore our rivers, waterways, seas and reservoirs to full health by 2030.
