The ARRC was established by Dr Siwan Lovett and Dr Phil Price to support people involved in river management and restoration. Siwan and Phil have now been joined by like minded people who specialise in different aspects of knowledge, information, research, and events management. The Centre also has an Advisory Council who provide their wisdom, experience and enthusiasm free of charge.
The ARRC is a not-for-profit organisation with any profits made from commercial projects go back into building up the shared resources the ARRC seeks to provide.
