Our Fellows

The Rivers Trust Fellows are a group of dedicated supporters who share our passion to protect rivers and contribute their time and expertise to help rivers thrive. 

The Rivers Trust Fellows are a group of dedicated supporters, each of whom has generously agreed to contribute £5,000 per annum or more for a period of five years.

In addition to their significant regular financial donations, many Fellows also contribute their time and expertise, benefitting us in multiple ways. We work with each individual to define the nature of their involvement, with as much or as little interaction as Fellows desire, helping us to gain from their specific skills, as well as providing a mutually rewarding relationship.

All Fellows are invited to attend regular Fellows’ events in order to keep them informed of developments at The Rivers Trust and the wider movement.

Their support is fundamental to the delivery of our range of practical projects and the continued strong growth and capacity building of the national movement.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of The Rivers Trust Fellows for their on-going commitment and support.
