Take action for your wild swimming spot with the River Rescue Kit

Environment charity River Action has launched a new toolkit designed to help you take action for your local river

The new online toolkit from River Action is designed to provide users with knowledge, tools, and resources to protect and campaign for your local river; to understand the key issues Britain’s rivers are facing, and connect with community groups across the country using the community map.

Included in the toolkit you’ll find guides and resources for:

  • How to test your river for pollutants
  • How to set up a campaign group
  • Knowing your legal rights and how the law can be used to pressure polluters
  • How to secure finances to fund your campaign
  • Effective ways to get your message heard loud and clear

You’ll also find an inspiring wealth of community films and success stories about those campaigning for their blue spaces.
