Thames21



hi all

We're relatively new here on this website but Thames21 has been going over 15 years now and last year we had over 8000 volunteers helping to clean up London's waterways - on the tidal Thames, tributaries and canals. We're always looking for new volunteers or groups. We'll also post details of public events h… Continue

Ouch! Have you any overland train lines near - Haydons Road is near the cleanup and Earlsfield is cyclable... Hope to see you there but don't worry if it's too difficult!

Hi Ben ...

Hope all going well. I've just sent you an invite for the admin project ... so hopefully you'll get that in a mo.

with regards to spreading the word a bit - might be best to give me a call. i'll send you a private e-mail with my number and lets go from there.

all the best

Awesome blog Ben! Sounds like you've been doing some great stuff. Would be great to see you at one of our cleanups - they're the second sunday of each month. Don't think I can make the Feb one but it promises to be good and I should be at the March one. - You'll probably find it considerably less muddy than what you're used to (we don't have any foreshore!) but with plenty of supermarket trolleys and motorbikes nevertheless! Keep enjoying it. Bella.

hi ben,

great - glad you found us ... we've been growing principally through word of mouth ... because we always thought it'd be better not to push p dirt (as too many green concepts are being pushed like mad).

re the search - you might be better changing the name to thames 21 (ie leaving a space between the thames and the 21) ... as the search will pick that up better ... the joys of being on a test site!

re intro'ing yourselves - have you come across the wandle trust ... who do great things on the river wandle? interestingly however - most of the current projects aren't associated with the thames (maybe accessibility isnt that easy). now you guys are on here - we'd be happy to help promote you to the members as you add something extra to the site in that there's now a project that brings the thames into play.

do let me know if there's anyhting i can do re promoting your events - or highlighting you on the front page blog

all the best
