Save the Gipping is a small group of dedicated volunteers with a passion and vision to restore the River Gipping in Suffolk, UK to what it once was - a clear, free-flowing, healthy river, whilst making it accessible and available for recreational activities.
About us
Started in 2022, Save the Gipping was born out of a frustration that the river was sadly being neglected by the authorities and as such was being choked and left to decline, and a determination that something needed to be done to rectify the situation. A Facebook group was started to gauge interest, and we are now over 1200 strong, with members from all walks of life.

Too improve the natural flow
Improve the biodiversity in and around the river
