Surfers Against Sewage

Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is one of the UK's leading marine conservation and campaigning charities. Our mission is simple: to Create Ocean Activists everywhere. Our projects and campaigns inspire, unite and empower individuals and communities to take action to protect oceans, beaches, waves and wildlife.

The organisation was founded in 1990 and became a charity in 2013.

The charity is made up of a board of 11 trustees, an executive team of 20 (which is expected and forecast to grow to 28-30 over the next 12 months), 200 Regional Reps and over 100,000 active volunteers around the UK. The charity also founded and runs the only marine conservation All Party Parliamentary Group in Westminster – the Ocean Conservation APPG, bringing together a collaborative voice for ocean in Westminster.

The charity has been particularly active at the forefront of the plastic pollution debate in recent years, driving legislative action on plastic bags, plastic bottles, straws and brand accountability, and founding the Plastic Free Communities movement and Plastic Free Awards.

Thriving ocean, thriving people.

This is our vision of the future. This simple phrase captures everything that matters to us, not just in SAS, but humankind. It’s a mantra, a motto, a rallying cry to drive us on, with a huge collective goal to help tilt our delicate planet back on its axis. This sounds huge, but when you love what you do, and work as one, that future draws ever nearer.

• Dynamic: We are dynamic, radical, active, energetic doers and campaigners. From the beaches to the front benches, we bring people together, empowering them to get stuck in and make real change happen.
• Authentic: We are human, doing our best. When we don’t get things right, we learn from it. We believe in authenticity. You can’t fake trust.
