Stand up for the river
Every objection we file carries the weight of the people behind it. Join more than 100 individuals, parish councils and riparian owners who already stand with the Whitewater.
A modest subscription, a louder voice
As a donor you'll be invited to our Annual General Meeting and to at least one gathering a year, usually on the banks of the Whitewater itself, with updates on planning developments and the health of the river.
- Invitations to the AGM and riverbank events
- News on planning battles and river health as they unfold
- The knowledge that your name strengthens every objection we raise
Donations are handled securely by Zeffy. Zeffy charges the Society no fees, so your full gift reaches the river.
Prefer to give another way? We can take a cheque or set up a standing order. Just email us and we'll arrange it.

Monitor the river
Our volunteers run regular riverfly surveys, counting the invertebrates that are the river's early-warning system. Training is provided, and every count matters.
Speak up on planning
Consultation responses from residents genuinely sway decisions. We flag the applications that threaten the valley and show you how to respond effectively.
Join us on the bank
From the summer party to habitat-enhancement days, our gatherings keep the community close to its river. Everyone is welcome; bring your wellies.
Not sure where you'd fit? Tell us what you enjoy and we'll match you to something useful. No experience needed for any of it.
