What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

The River Don Trust was set up in order to assist The River Don in achieving the objectives and aims of its Fishery Management Plan. Conservation and enhancement of the catchments environment and therefore of all the species within it is at the heart of our objectives. There are many diverse ways in which we can and do assist with the River Don management. Some of these, most recently worked on are as follows: The creation of a new website for our river. Photography and filming so as to educate the public in terms of some of the invasive plant species which are found within our catchment. Sampling of water from our river in order to establish its quality Fund raising towards a catchment wide project of restoration over our river and its tributaries, which if successful will result in the Trust taking on a full time employee to manage this project work throughout the catchment. Ecology, bio-diversity and flood control are just a few of the elements involved.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.
