The Big Give’s Green Match Fund Opens – Donate to the ECP

We’re taking part in the Big Give’s Green Match Fund!

The Evenlode Catchment Partnership (ECP) is taking part in the Big Give’s Green Match Fund from 22nd-29th April 2025. This is a 7-day online match funding campaign and we are aiming to raise £20k. We already have £10k pledged in match funding, but we will only receive this if we can raise another £10k while the Big Give is live!

You’ll be able to donate to the ECP through Wild Oxfordshire’s campaign page while the Big Give’s Green Match Fund is live.

Our ambition

Our ambition is to return the Evenlode to good ecological status by creating a thriving, sustainable water environment that benefits both wildlife and local communities.

Why we’re fundraising

Much of the ECP’s incredible work has been funded by Thames Water. However, they have failed to deliver the promised upgrades to their sewage treatment works. Due to the serious harm from sewage pollution to our rivers and wider catchment, the ECP has made the moral decision not to accept any more funding from Thames Water beyond March 2025. To continue our important work and maintain the momentum of our ambitious programme we are seeking new funding going forward.

How you can help

By donating, you’ll be supporting efforts to restore vital water habitats, create new wildlife havens, and protect our rivers for future generations!

Can you support our work by donating to the ECP during the Big Give’s Green Match Challenge?

You’ll be able to donate to the ECP through Wild Oxfordshire’s campaign page while the Big Give’s Green Match Fund is live, from midday on 22nd April 2025 to midday on 29th April 2025.
