River Care Clean Ups

River care is an community event which gives the river a complete clean by having teams of local groups and members of the public clean up in and around the river.

Anyone can take part and help litter pick around the banks of the river. You can even watch the divers pull out the numerous trolleys, bicycles, traffic cones and other dumped items that get discarded in the river every year.

Along with litter picks you can earn Big Pride Points by attending Rivercare events. Big Pride Points is a way of rewarding you, the volunteer, for participating and making a difference. You earn one point for each event and prizes are awarded to those who earn 4, 8,12 and 16 points.

Regular attendees include-
Bedford Sub Aqua Divers
Viking Kayak Club
Sea Cadets
Environment Agency
