Charity of the week

Surfers Against Sewage is one of the UK’s most active

and successful environmental charities. From humble

beginnings in Porthtowan Village Hall, Cornwall, their grass-

roots movement is no longer just for surfers, nor is it solely

focused on sewage. As dedicated ocean activists, they rally

individuals and communities across the country to protect our blue spaces,

putting pressure on the Government and big business to incite change.

The UN has declared 2021-30 the decade of ocean action, and with the UK

hosting COP26, Surfers Against Sewage are petitioning for the ocean to be

put at the forefront of climate negotiations. With only ten years left to save our

planet’s biggest life-force, time is running out.To learn how you can support

this latest campaign and why SAS has declared an Ocean and Climate

Emergency, go to sas.org.uk/ocean-and-climate-crisis.
