Riverlution

Engaging our volunteers, communities and businesses through delivering skills and support so they can get involved in enhancing their local waterways.

For People

Riverlution, as a Community Interest Company (CIC), helps people and communities find ways to engage with and develop a sense of place around their local patch of waterway.

For Environment

Working together to produce positive environmental impacts to improve the quality and biodiversity of river and riparian habitats.

For Business

In safe hands

We work with riparian business owners on their corporate social and environment responsibilities by facilitating river clean-ups and habitat work.

We also offer environmental sustainability and carbon literacy training for businesses.

Our experienced and qualified staff provide the PPE, tools and training to run a successful team day, whether you have a specific site or project in mind, or just a desire to positively impact your community.

Riverlution's Sheffield Stewardship Partnership is a pioneering scheme that seeks to develop a unique connection between Sheffield businesses, communities and it's rivers. We welcome businesses of all shapes and sizes to join the Riverlution, find out more about how you can get involved.

Passionate people

Our River Stewardship Skills Scheme helps people out of work or in education or training, gain the skills and qualifications that will help start a career in environmental management.

We're making a difference to people, the environment and business by training, mentoring and supporting people to gain hands-on water management skills, working in our rivers to reduce impacts and improve the health and biodiversity of their riparian habitats.

Partnering with people in your local community who are passionate about imparting knowledge and guiding teams helps everyone make the most of these green spaces and promote wellbeing.
