The Trust is now a completely independent organisation, although it does have strong links with the local branch of the Inland Waterways Association. They also hope to forge links with all the other groups that have an interest in the well being of the Gipping Valley.

The directors and trustees of the Trust are busy creating a Vision Statement which they hope to launch at a public meeting to be held later on this year. They will be looking to get as many people as possible at the meeting.
In particular they would like to meet the riparian owners, local councillors and businesses along with everyone else who cares for our beautiful river valley.
