Bristol Avon Rivers Trust – Brislington
Mental wellbeing
We would like to run a programme of river-based activities, advertised as community wellbeing events, including: guided river walks, and riverfly training sessions and support.
About this cause
We're an organisation that aims to improve mental health and the environment by bringing local communities closer to nature. We work in partnership with organisations and individuals to reconnect communities with their local rivers, helping to protect and restore the water environment, improve wellbeing and pull communities together through river-based activities.

How this cause brings people in the community together
Our project aims to encourage participation in outdoor river-related activities to promote the multiple benefits to mental and physical wellbeing that come with being immersed in nature. The project will have a lasting legacy, with newly trained volunteers and the aim of long-term improvements to mental and physical wellbeing and life-long connection to the natural environment.
