Mersey Rivers Trust

The Skill Mill is working with Mersey Rivers Trust to create opportunities for our young employees in Rochdale.

Mersey Rivers Trust is a charity working in partnership with all those interested in improving local rivers and waterways. The Trust covers a large area of the North West River Basin District and includes the rivers Alt, Crossens, Irwell, Tame, Goyt, Bollin, Weaver and more. These rivers feed into the River Mersey which begins in Stockport at the confluence of the rivers Tame (from Manchester) and Goyt (from Derbyshire).

The Skill Mill provides employment opportunities in water and land based management, helping to reduce flood risk and improve the local environment. The Skill Mill provides services which contribute to protection against environmental degradation, overfishing, climate change and pollution.
