Big Waterways Clean Up 2012 is a campaign to improve East London’s waterways by July 2012. It is seeking young and old to get involved in a mass volunteer-led initiative to inspire community activity and produce a lasting legacy for Londoners and their local neighbourhoods long after the 2012 Games. Find out how you can get involved HERE.

Also, each year, Thames21 hosts a photography competition which aims to get people out and about enjoying their local waterways, while demonstrating their photography skills too. This time the Big Waterways Clean Up 2012 is looking for your best images of ‘The waterways of the Olympic host boroughs’ The closing date for entries is 30th June. Details HERE
