Active Thames Hub connects community around sustainability

Responding to interest from clubs, our second Active Thames Hub focused on how clubs have reduced their carbon footprint and are working hard to improve the river.

Attendees heard from experts about the Clean Thames Plan, environmental initiatives, and funding opportunities for eco-friendly projects, followed by a panel discussion, representing different sports clubs who showcased their innovative approaches to sustainability.  

From Fulham Reach Boat Club’s (FRBC) pioneering use of electric boats and citizen science initiatives, to Laburnum Boat Club’s eco audit and the organisational changes that followed, and In the Drink’s campaign to get riverside pubs to switch to reusable cups, the session demonstrated the value of collaboration, shared learning and creative solutions to improve the natural Thames environment.
