22/02/10: EVENT CANCELLED!
Sadly we have had to cancel this event following heavy rain. When it rains very heavily, raw sewage is released into the river through 'CSO's (controlled sewage outlets). The reason this happens is the sewerage system cannot cope with the additional rainwater; to prevent it from overflowing into the streets and our homes, it is released into the river. Obviously we do not want to be working around raw sewage!
It is very rare that Thames21 cancels events, we're really sorry for any inconvenience caused. Please see the events calendar for more upcoming events.

Help clean-up the River Thames as part of Student Volunteering Week.

Students from London universities and colleges are invited to help clean-up the River Thames foreshore near Westminster as part of Student Volunteering Week. This is going to be a highly unique student volunteering opportunity, and great fun!!

Volunteers will help with removing litter from the foreshore area, helping to improve the area for residents and wildlife, and get to meet like-minded students from across London.

Safety boots, gloves and equipment will be provided. Please wear clothing appropriate to the weather and that you don't mind getting dirty.
