The Big Paddle Cleanup 2026

A fantastic afternoon spent making a real difference to our local river by the Teddington office team in partnership with Paddle UK.

As a team, we swapped our desks for the outdoors and got hands-on, taking to kayaks and row boats as well as working along the river banks to tackle litter both on land and in the water. It was a brilliant opportunity to come together outside of the office and give back to our local community. Together, we collected a huge amount of everyday rubbish - plus some very unexpected finds!

Highlights from the day included removing:

  • Dumbbells
  • Carpet tiles
  • Perspex sheets
  • And even a sofa from the river!

We’re really proud of what we achieved as a team — not only improving the local environment, but also raising awareness of the importance of keeping our waterways clean.

A big thank you to everyone who took part and got stuck in — a great example of our team spirit in action!
