WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

Thames Estuary Partnership provides support and evidence-based research to member organisations that are active along the tidal Thames. We offer a neutral forum to explore ideas, plan initiatives, and engage with local communities. As a member, we connect you with the key local decision-makers to help your organisation achieve its objectives.

Whether your interest is in the environment, leisure, industry, tourism, policy, heritage, or developments planned for the river and riverside – TEP membership can offer you the opportunity to meet with the key influencers of the Thames Estuary.
