This December, we had an amazing opportunity to raise funds for our river conservation work — the Big Give Christmas Challenge. The premise was simple: if we could raise £3,600, then those donations would be doubled to £7,200. This was possible thanks to match funding provided by a group of generous pledgers and PlanAid, an environmental grantmaker.
In an incredible show of support, 92 donors took us not only to our target, but beyond it. After the match funding and Gift Aid were added, our final total is a whopping £11,640.75. We are bowled over by this kindness, and so grateful to everyone who donated or helped to spread the word. Our heartfelt thanks to our donors, our pledgers, and PlanAid.
Our team works hard to improve the health of rivers, for the benefit of wild brown trout and all the species that live alongside them. Donations like these enable us to rescue damaged habitats across the UK and Ireland, and to empower others to do the same. If you’d like to support our work, please consider making a donation or becoming a member for as little as 7p per day.
We’ll continue to share updates here on our website, in our e‑newsletters, and on social media. For now, our Director Shaun has a special message for everyone who supported the Christmas Challenge — thank you again for allowing us to make a difference.
