Thames21, the charity dedicated to improving London’s waterways, is inviting volunteers in Fulham to join them for a community river clean-up.

The Sands End river clean-up is taking place on Saturday 25 May, from 10.30am till 12.20pm at Broomhouse Dock, at the southern end of Broomhouse Lane by the Hurlingham Club.

As well as helping to clean up the foreshore, volunteers can take part in a litter survey,

This means collecting the litter and categorising it into sewage derived litter, plastic items, and other litter. Thames21 says this will help them to determine and record which category is the biggest problem.

During this session, there will also be river dipping, beach exploration and a chance to socialise and enjoy the outdoors.

The charity says this will be a fun, relaxed event and everyone is welcome to come, learn, explore and enjoy.

Though this event is free to join, volunteers are asked to book their place online.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.
