Festival Supported by:
Thames Festival Trust gratefully acknowledges Port of London Authority’s sponsorship of the Totally Thames festival. Jenny Cooper-Low, PLA’s Thames Vision and Partnerships Lead comments: Totally Thames plays a vital role in bringing the river to life for Londoners and visitors alike; not just as a waterway, but as a space of history, culture, and opportunity. The PLA is proud to support the festival in making the Thames more accessible and inclusive, particularly for young people and underrepresented communities. Through creative programming and community engagement, Totally Thames is helping to raise awareness of foreshore safety, promote environmental sustainability, and inspire future careers in the maritime sector; all of which directly contribute to the goals of our vision for the tidal Thames and our broader commitment to social impact.
