MCS Joins Thames Catchment River Guardians to Champion Cleaner, Safer Waters

It was wonderful to announce that we are joining the Thames Catchment River Guardians Network, a project launched in collaboration with Friends of the Thames and their River Director Paul Powlesland (Lawyers for Nature). The initiative is designed to protect, monitor, and restore the entire Thames river system, inspiring communities to take an active role in caring for their local waterways.

Explaining the concept, Paul Powlesland said:

“We believe the Thames belongs to everyone—and that safeguarding it requires all of us. Our work is built on collaboration, and we actively partner with charities, NGOs, community groups, schools, scientists, and individuals who share our passion for the river. Whether you’re a campaigner, swimmer, teacher, activist, or concerned resident, there’s a place for you in our growing movement.”

We are thrilled that pupils and staff at MCS will now be part of this growing network, joining existing guardians across the Thames catchment. By taking part, our pupil’s will help champion cleaner, safer waters and contribute to a coordinated movement to protect our environment.

We look forward to seeing the impact of our pupils’ efforts and sharing updates from our River Guardians in action!
