Sands End River Clean Up & Litter Detectives
2025-12-09 11:30 - 13:30 (Europe/London) | Broomhouse Dock, SW6 3EH, Junction of Carnwath Road & Broomhouse Lane, Fulham, SW6 3DS, United Kingdom
Come along and join Thames21 as a river citizen scientist on the River Thames. We will be collecting the litter we find and categorising it into sewage derived litter, plastic items, and other litter. This will help us to determine the quantity of litter turning up along the river side and to investigate which litter category is the biggest problem.
We look forward to welcoming you to our event which will cover everything you need to know to carry out a litter survey or clean up with Thames21 Citizen Science Volunteer for Thames River Watch.
Both new and existing Thames21 volunteers are encouraged to attend and investigate plastic pollution on the Tidal Thames. This event is suitable to anyone (over the age of 10 with an adult) who has an interest in plastic pollution or if you want to help monitor and improve the Thames river.
This is an event designed for the community to engage the local public with the river and not for corporates. If you are interested in a bespoke corporate volunteer day. Please visit our website https://www.thames21.org.uk/get-involved-2/corporatevolunteer
Please make sure you have suitable footwear (wellies or boots) that covers your ankles and weather-appropriate clothing for the day as this site tends to be very muddy.
If you have any questions please contact Steph at stephanie.fernandes@thames21.org.uk
This will be a fun, relaxed event and everyone is welcome to come learn, explore and enjoy!
