New Mersey Rivers Youth Forum Launched!

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Mersey Rivers Youth Forum for Greater Manchester.

Mersey Rivers Trust is pleased to announce the launch of its new Mersey Rivers Youth Forum, providing a voice for young people to express their views on how the Mersey rivers should be improved for people and wildlife.

Our first Youth Forum group will be focused on Greater Manchester but we will be setting up groups in Merseyside and Cheshire & Warrington later in the year.

If you are aged 11 to 17 and want to get involved, please contact us for more details. We really do need you to help shape the future of the Mersey rivers !
