Become a guardian of our waterways by creating a local campaign. We need you to spread the word so we can make a difference.
Help us build a brighter future for paddlers and waterways in England.
Tips for creating a local campaign
Firstly, sign up to become a campaigner. You’ll receive regular updates and resources to help you campaign effectively.
Secondly, a local campaign is about talking to people about why access to your local waterway is important to YOU. This is key.
How would not accessing your river or lake impact you? Do you walk and relax there or go paddling there? Talk about the importance to you of not being able to access that space.

Here’s some ideas to get you started with your campaigning:
- Tweet or email your local MP and talk about the access situation in your area
- If you’re part of a club, open days and paddle cleanups are a great way to get people passionate about their waterways.
- Give a presentation or talk to a local group (e.g. conservation, open water swimmers or climbing groups).
- Join a formal location partnership with an interest in access, waterways or environment.
- Promote Clear Access Clear Waters in your club or paddling group. Spread the word through posters and holding talks.
