The Trust was created as the charitable arm of the Mersey Basin Campaign to help deliver community-based actions to improve the health of the River Mersey and its tributaries.
In 2013, the Healthy Waterways Trust became a Rivers Trust, joining the national Rivers Trust movement. Shortly after, the charity changed its name to the Healthy Rivers Trust to reflect joining the Rivers Trust movement.
In 2017, the Healthy Rivers Trust and the Mersey Basin Rivers Trust merged to form the current charity - the Mersey Rivers Trust.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thank you to everyone who has worked for and supported the Trust throughout the past 25 years. We have had some great success and hope to continue our work to improve the Mersey rivers for the benefit of people and wildlife.
Here’s to another successful 25 years!
