Over 30 Salsa Dancers Made Waves For Cleaner Water
Emily Turner
The event went swimmingly for our Wilder Waters Appeal. We wanted to bring attention to this crucial fundraising appeal in a fresh way. So, we collaborated with the Warwick Salsa Society to make waves for cleaner water
Dancers wore blue & white and put on a beautiful display of Latin social dancing. Watch the video below for our 5 highlights of the event.
Right here in Warwickshire, we have over 1,469km of rivers and waterways - that's greater than the distance from Land's End to John O'Groats!
Our Wilder Waters appeal aims to raise £100,000 to create wilder riverbanks, remove invasive species, improve water quality and make more space for creatures like otters, toads, lapwings and water voles.

From mayors dancing to captivating group performances, see what our top 5 moments of the event were:
"Three Mayors A-Leaping"
The line is 10 Lords a-leaping, but we couldn't resist this little pun...
To show their support for this energetic event, we were visited by the Lord Mayor of Coventry, Roger Bailey, Deputy Mayor of Kenilworth, Mark Stevens, and Deputy Mayoress of Kenilworth, Lis Stevens.
Mark even got involved and learnt basic salsa steps with the students!
