Cardiff Rivers Group

We are an environmental charity who organise and run events accross Cardiff and South Wales to clean up and improve water courses: rivers, streams, ponds or the sea! This could be a general litterpick or wading into a river to clear it of shopping trolleys, recycling as much of what we find as we can to fund the charity. We also undertake habitat management across the city.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
