At Northumbrian Water, our mission extends beyond the pipes beneath the ground; it encompasses the active and thriving communities that make up the North East. We believe that protecting our shared environment works best when we all team up, which is why we proudly support Local Action community events.
Taking Pride in Our Coasts and Rivers
Every year, we host and support hundreds of volunteer-led initiatives aimed at protecting our local waterways. Our environmental teams work alongside passionate residents to ensure our beaches remain pristine and our rivers continue to flow healthily for local wildlife.
- Beach Cleans: After busy holidays, our local beaches can unfortunately become littered with single-use plastics. Our organized beach cleans are a fantastic way for families and friends to spend a weekend morning making a tangible, positive impact.
- Riverbank Restorations: Flora and fauna surrounding local streams rely on a clean habitat. Volunteer days are often spent removing debris, planting native vegetation, and monitoring local species.
- Educational Outreach: We frequently visit schools and community centers to spread the word about responsible water usage and safe waste disposal, like our 'Bin the Wipe' message.
We encourage you to visit our Community Hub online to find upcoming Local Action events near you. Or, if you have an idea for a community-led environmental project, let us know! We provide funding and resources to numerous grassroots initiatives that share our passion for a clean, green North East.
