A huge thank you to all our volunteers!

A huge thank you to all our volunteers in National Volunteers' Week!

It's national Volunteers Week and so we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has volunteered their time to help Mersey Rivers Trust over the past year!

Your help is greatly appreciated, from river monitoring to litter picks to building leaky dams or tackling invasive plants along our rivers. Your support makes a real difference to improving the Mersey rivers for local people and wildlife across Greater Manchester, Merseyside and most of Cheshire.

If you would like to come and help us, all our volunteer events and activities are posted on our website and/or Eventbrite page and social media.

Thank you all so much from the staff and Trustees at Mersey Rivers Trust.
