Your impact

By fundraising for us, you're helping nature to flourish and help to #KeepCanalsAlive.

From helping us fight plastic pollution to protecting the future of our historic 2,000-mile-long network, the money you raise will do so much for our canals and rivers, for the communities who enjoy them and for the wildlife that depends on them.

Together, we can make life better by water.
