Hi John,

Feeling those cold, dark evenings? Finding it harder to get outdoors - or in the water? What if you could turn that winter slump into something powerful?

We’ve got the perfect challenge to get your heart racing and legs moving, all for a cause you care about. 🌊

Run, walk or jog 47 miles this February and raise vital funds to power our campaigning and protect the waters we love. Why? Because 4.7 million hours of sewage was dumped into UK waters in 2024. And our figures show this isn’t slowing down. 😡

With 2026 shaping up as a pivotal year in the fight to end sewage pollution, we need a groundswell of people power to push for real reform. So let’s get outside, get moving, and feel the energy of taking action. ✊

Why 47 miles?

The number 47 represents the 4.7 million hours of sewage dumped into UK waters in 2024. The water companies responsible paid shareholders £1.2 billion in the same year. All while water bills are rising, targets are missed and public trust is plummeting. 🤬

Enough is enough. By taking on 47 miles together, we’re standing up to the profiteering polluters and helping drive REAL system change. 💪

How you'll make an impact

The Water Bill is coming in 2026 - new legislation that will redefine how water companies operate and are held to account. It’s our biggest chance yet to influence industry reform, to ensure it works for people and planet, NOT just profit-hungry polluters.

Every pound you raise helps power our campaigning on sewage pollution:

👊 Put pressure on government to put environmental and public health first

🤑 Expose the water companies dodgy dealings and hold them to account

🌊 Protect our wild waters and power community action across the UK
