Be part of Your river’s recovery
The River Ribble has shaped this landscape for thousands of years.
It has carved valleys, carried life from the hills to the sea, and quietly supported the wildlife, communities, and places we call home. But right now, the river is under pressure.
Pollution, changing land use, and the loss of natural habitats are affecting how it flows, how it supports life, and how it protects the landscapes around it. And because everything is connected, those pressures don’t stay in one place. They ripple outward, affecting wildlife, water, and communities across the whole catchment.
Help Our Rivers Thrive
For over two decades our dedicated team have been using their vast knowledge of the local area, and the natural world, to improve over 375 miles of rivers in Lancashire and North Yorkshire.
As a charity, this work is only possible thanks to grants and donations like yours.
When you donate, you’re not just giving money. You help to restore balance to the river; so we can work with nature to repair what has been lost, and protect what remains.
Your donation will go directly towards on-the-ground action that will make a real difference in the health and vitality of our rivers. Ribble Rivers Trust work to remove river blocking weirs, engineer new wetlands, and create new woodlands, all with the goal of making our waterways healthier and more resilient.
And we do more than just environmental restoration. Our team work closely with urban and rural communities. Together we help people make positive changes to their lifestyles, businesses, and farming practices that will benefit both people and the environment. Specialist staff also teach primary school children about the importance of rivers in the natural world, inspiring the next generation of conservationists.
Our goal is a world where our rivers are clean and healthy. Where we can play and explore in nature and where wildlife thrives and rivers teem with life. That’s the world that Ribble Rivers Trust is working to create. When you become a supporter, your help means our charity can make that vision a reality.

The future of the Ribble is something we shape together. However much you choose to give, it will make a difference.
Because when we care for the river, it has the power to care for everything else.
