So what better time to celebrate this summer's #BigPaddleCleanup ♻️🙌 With over 3,700 volunteers and 7,400 hours dedicated to cleaning up our waterways, we’ve collectively removed 1,800+ bags of litter —along with some surprising larger items like fridges and shopping trolleys. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to our partners ERDINGER Alkoholfrei, Decathlon UK and Planet Patrol. 💚 Let's keep up the momentum into autumn.

More sports unite for cleaner waters 🌊 Almost half of Great Britain's medal haul at the Paris 2024 Games came from water-based sports, with 18% won by athletes who train outdoors in rivers, canals, lakes, and open water. At the Southampton Boat Show last week, the Clean Water Sports Alliance welcomed new members—Surfing England, British Kitesports, BSAC - British Sub-Aqua Club, and the British Dragon Boat Association —further strengthening our campaign. Since its formation in April, the group has engaged with water companies on water testing and shared collective data to improve water quality. We’ll continue ensuring that industry plans provide safe, clean environments for everyone to enjoy.

Meet Dean Dubar, a paddler from Scotland who isn’t letting his sight loss stop him from some extreme adventures 🌊 You’ll often find Dean out on the water taking on new challenges, from paddling out to St Kilda to covering the length of the Caledonian Canal. "Being blind, it isn't always safe for me to take on some of my bigger challenges on my own, so having Rhona [my wife] and/or friends along as sighted guides has made my bigger adventures possible." We caught up with him to find out more about his experiences paddling with sight loss. Take a read 👉 https://orlo.uk/ggq1z
