Get involved with the Clean River Kent Campaign
CRKC is a 100% volunteer-led group.
We rely on supporters to keep the campaign going.
There’s a range of opportunities to get involved, whether you just want to help on a one-off basis or take part for longer. Roles can be shared with other supporters, and we’ll always cover expenses.
River Kent Rapid Reaction Litter Pick Team
We’re looking for volunteers who can litter pick on foot or by kayak following high-water events along the stretch of the river Kent below Kendal.
When litter is brought to our attention once water levels have subsided, we’ll use our volunteer WhatsApp group to call out for help.
