Taff Tidy

a project galvanising collective action

TAFF TIDY

Empowering unity

Taff Tidy project’s mission is to empower unity across societal sectors through effective action and accessible resources to protect our rivers.

On 21 March 2025 Dr Numair Masud, a world-leading expert in freshwater health, and me, Kate Strong, multiple world record holding cyclist are teaming up to highlight the importance of working together to protect our river systems.

About Numair & kate

Dr NUMAIR MASUD is an early career freshwater scientist at Cardiff University and human rights activist, particularly focusing on LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees.

KATE STRONG is a multi world record holding cyclist, ex world champion triathlete, climate activist, author and passionate about behavioural change.

Kate & Numair represent an unlikely pairing; a world renowned athlete born in Wales with an immigrant freshwater scientist who sought asylum in the UK.

They realise the essential nature of intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue and collective action to deal with urgent global issues, such as freshwater security, which Taff Tidy champions
