We don’t like asking for donations 🙁

But unfortunately in order to keep our legal action coming, we need your help. 🙏

Legal action is changing the future of our rivers. Just last month, we secured a High Court ruling that reclassified chicken manure as waste, a landmark decision that's undermining the viability of new intensive farming units that have been killing the River Wye.

Legal action is expensive. 🫰 But legal action works.✔️

The good news? The Big Give is doubling every donation for one week only. We know money is tight right now, but if you’ve been thinking about donating, please make it this week.

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
