Rivers are essential to all life. We depend on them for clean water for drinking and sanitation, agriculture, soil health and the immense diversity of ecosystems and species that they nurture. Not to mention the cultural and spiritual connection many of us feel with rivers and open water.

But we aren’t looking after them enough. So we have pulled our dancing shoes on, slapped on the fake tan, slathered on the make-up and are dancing in front of a lot of people (eek) to raise money for The Rivers Trust to contribute to finding sustainable solutions to some of the biggest challenges faced by our rivers and the amazing and unique ecosystems they support.

Please sponsor us to get us through the late night practising and pure, heart-stopping embarrassment of getting up in front of friends, family and colleagues and dancing ballroom and Latin show dances.
