2. About us

How we are run

We give opportunities to those who want a greater role in the care of their local canals and rivers. We work with a number of groups and individuals to provide communities and organisations with a dedicated workforce, brimming with expertise and experience.

In this section of the website you can find out more about our trustees, council, waterway regions and any meetings taking place.
