What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here.
But the solutions exist.
Across the UK, communities are watching The People’s Emergency Briefing & discussing what to do next.

⚠️⏰ This can’t wait.
Help us pressure supermarkets to clean up their polluting supply chains.
Agricultural pollution is a major driver of river pollution in the UK.
Yet products linked to industrial-scale farming systems that can damage rivers continue to be sold at scale on supermarket shelves.
This system is broken - and too often, no one is held to account.
Supermarkets have the power to fix it through their supply chains. And we’re making sure they do.
💥 Between 22nd-29th April ONLY, donations will be DOUBLED through the @BigGive.
Donate now and help us ensure change - for our rivers, wildlife, and future.
