Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Trust has had another strong year as it consolidates its reputation for designing and delivering projects that provide nature-based solutions to restore rivers, grow resilience to our changing climate and reduce the impact of pollution. We have again increased our reserve levels, whilst securing record levels of income.”
• “The Trent Rivers Trust started operating fully from its new office in Darley Abbey in Derbyshire, which has had a very positive impact in terms of the team being able to share a space more regularly and being somewhere we can meet with partners. We also started working with Hogan Lovells solicitors, as part of a national tie up with The Rivers Trust and have received a significant donation from them.”
• “We have also started developing our corporate offer, had increased success with media coverage, regularly featuring on local radio and television to talk about river related issues or showcase our projects and have again increased our social media following further. In the year we have also developed our new 5-year business plan from 2025-2030, setting broad objectives for ourselves and outlining our priorities in each of our work areas.”
• “Our longer-term Aviva Soar NFM project included delivery work at Beacon Hill Country Park and with landowners in Whissendine in Leicestershire. This project has enabled us to showcase the opportunities and difficulties in delivering NFM projects at both a regional and national scale. Our report into this project has been used by both AVIVA and WWFUK to influence national level planning and thinking and we have contributed to conversations in parliament. This project has not yet finished, and we will continue to deliver further capital works in 2025/26.”
• “Our community engagement work was focused on Stoke, somewhere we have not been able to work in the past. Our Community Engagement Officer there has been able to improve access along the Trent Valley Way through Stoke and has engaged with artists and schools to produce some brilliant artwork, now valued by the local community.”
• “The future is also looking very positive in terms of the pipeline of new long-term projects. In the year we had three proposals for enforcement undertakings accepted by the EA and Severn Trent. These have a combined value of over 2 million and are centred around Whitwick in Leicestershire, on the River Amber and on the River Maun. They are 4 or 5 year projects allowing us to really plan ahead in terms of river restoration work with a focus on weir removal or bypass. We will also be employing two new trainees to work with the Institute of Fisheries Management as part of these projects.”
• “Other new projects getting underway in the year include our first work with a solar farm, providing advice on biodiversity and water management, work with Network Rail to study how to prevent a major line flooding at Breaston and Draycott in Derbyshire and the Thriving in the Trent project with Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.”
• “Our Porous Pots work which looks at soil health has continued, though 2024/25 will be the last year we undertake agricultural advice work at Tittesworth and Staunton Harold - a project that has been monumentally successful over 10 years in reducing pollution from farming, affecting reservoirs.”
