Our impact

We work with our member Trusts to make our shared vision a reality: wild, healthy, natural rivers, valued by all. This page summarises everything our movement has achieved so far to bring that vision to life.

Our annual Impact Report shines a spotlight on the brilliant work our Movement has achieved over the past year.

A word from our CEO, Mark Lloyd, to introduce the report and to thank you all for your support.

Our Impact Report contains a selection of fantastic projects from across the Movement, including...

  • Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust delivering a large-scale Natural Flood Management (NFM) scheme, demonstrating how nature-based solutions can reduce downstream flood risk and restore lost habitat.
  • Norfolk Rivers Trust working with a team of volunteer citizen scientist to collect water quality samples along the River Wensum and using the data to drive real action. 
  • North Wales Rivers Trust bringing together school children and a local rap artist to create river-themed raps and inspire the next generation of river champions through creativity.
