Our rivers are in trouble, and we must act now. Migratory fish populations have declined by a staggering 93% in Europe since 1970. Furthermore, 40% of all rivers in England and Wales are polluted with sewage. A third of the water taken from rivers is wasted through leaks, treatment losses, and in the home.
Why You Should Donate to Severn Rivers Trust
The River Severn and its streams are being choked by plastics and litter, blocked by dams, diverted by culverts, and poisoned by chemicals, animal waste, and even human sewage. Banks are being overrun with invasive knotweed and balsam and eroded by livestock, damaging precious river habitats and increasing soil loss—a valuable finite resource we must protect.
Severn Rivers Trust is a registered independent charity (Charity No 1134096). We rely on grants and support from the public to keep us going.
How Your Donations Make a Difference
When you donate to Severn Rivers Trust, your contributions directly support essential projects aimed at cleaning up our rivers, restoring habitats, and promoting biodiversity. Every donation allows us to mobilise volunteers, organise community events, and invest in vital equipment needed for our conservation efforts.
Every penny that you donate to Severn Rivers Trust helps us continue our crucial work restoring the Severn’s rivers. Your support is vital for protecting habitats and engaging communities.
