Join Rubbish Friends for a land-based community pick, starting from Stratford Leisure Centre.

Rubbish Friends are supporting SOAK (Stratford upon Avon Kayaking) and The Big Paddle Cleanup, led by PaddleUK and other water sports bodies.

Litter is pollution by any other name. By taking part:

You help protect wildlife

You help prevent pollution

You will feel closer to nature

You feel happier knowing you’re making a difference

Removing rubbish from our green spaces helps prevent pollution reaching precious blue waters.

Find out more about the campaign: https://paddleuk.org.uk/big-paddle-cleanup/

PLEASE NOTE: Only SOAK club members who have completed a sign up and emergency contact will be able to enter the water. Non-Members who arrive with their own equipment will not be able to paddle with SOAK due to club safety factors including insurance and coaching ratios.
