We're the UK's largest waterways charity, looking after 2,000 miles of your canals and rivers across England and Wales. Together, let’s make sure they continue to be here for tomorrow and beyond.

Our cause

2,000-mile network of stunning canals and rivers runs through our landscapes. From our countryside to our bustling cities – canals are a place for everyone to connect with nature and our past. However you use them, we all deserve open spaces where we can feel happier and healthier. But the future of these vital ecosystems is threatened by changing temperatures, unpredictable rainfall and the tests of time. As the UK’s largest waterways charity, our role in protecting and revitalising our nation’s canals never stops. And we couldn’t do this without people like you. It takes many hands and hearts to keep our 250-year-old bridges, locks, reservoirs and towpaths in working condition, and many more to help nature, wildlife and people thrive. Together, we can make sure they continue to be here for tomorrow and beyond. Join us and let’s #KeepCanalsAlive
