The Clean Water Sports Alliance’s call for healthy and nature-rich blue spaces for everyone to enjoy has been recognised at the BBC Green Sports Awards 2024. The Alliance, of which BSAC is a member, was shortlisted for the Grassroots Sports Organisation of the Year as athletes and groups working hard to enact and inspire change were celebrated. Last night, the Alliance celebrated getting shortlisted alongside athletes and groups inspiring change. Formed in April of this year, the Alliance represents 450,000 members, athletes and millions of participants and water users who are impacted each and every day by poor water quality and pollution. We will continue to work together to influence decision-makers and drive positive change, working collaboratively to highlight issues and create solutions to help return the UK’s blue spaces to be where nature can thrive and sport and recreation can be enjoyed.
