Act
There’s so many things we can do to enjoy, protect and enhance our river. The Ouse provides so much opportunity and we believe the power of collective action can make a difference.
Jump in!
Get involved with our ongoing projects. It’s our priority to provide a range of Ouse activities to all kinds of people. Whether you have time to volunteer with us, attend our events, are part of an Ouse group or can offer knowledge and expertise we want to hear from you!

It is so important to Love your Ouse! Spend time with your river whether walking, cycling, canoeing, swimming or whatever floats your boat! Regular interaction really helps to form a meaningful connection, develop a greater appreciation of what it offers and hopefully nurtures a willingness for us to want to protect and nurture it.

There are fantastic local organisations who offer a wide range of fun, practical activities and resources. Many rely on voluntary help, membership and donations. Here’s some of the key ones locally:
Adur and Ouse Catchment Partnership
Campaign, pressure groups and other water do-gooders
We think more can be done to help drive scaled up collective action from a community level and believe in the power of grassroots action rising up to meet those with statutory and regulatory duties, and where necessary, find means to increase transparency and accountability.
