Throughout this year we will be organising a series of events and initiatives in support of two fantastic charities – Thames21 and Plastic Oceans – both of which are working to fight the plastic problem in very different ways.

They also aim to transform neglected waterways into areas that everyone can use and enjoy, by using innovative and tailored community approaches.
PLASTIC OCEANS
