The Cleaner Thames campaign is all about stopping rubbish getting in the River Thames.
Every year hundreds of tonnes of plastic bottles, food wrappers and other rubbish gets into the Thames, harming creatures including fish, seals and birds. Backed by international explorer, Paul Rose the campaign has a simple message: Bin it for a Cleaner Thames.

The Foreshore Festival
The Foreshore Festival (23 September, 10am-5pm ) is a free family fun day, celebrating everything that's great about the Thames.
Organised by Tideway, there are events in both Putney and Shadwell this year.
Visitors will have the opportunity to try out kayaking, rowing and paddle boarding. Keep an eye open too for the “The Big Ben Challenge” which will see hundreds of paddle boarders make their way down the river from Putney to Parliament and back.
