It's really important for the people who are passionate about our canals and rivers to have a say in how they are run. Our regional advisory boards give you that chance to support the work the Trust does in your local area.
Grand Union Canal & Tring Reservoir
Working alongside each region’s full time colleagues, our boards help to:
- use local knowledge, ideas and capacity to build new relationships, so people can use and enjoy the waterways
- help us reach the diverse local communities that we serve
- translate national priorities into local initiatives
- gather and feedback to Trust colleagues on local priorities, opportunities and risks
- ‘open doors’ to local and regional structures and decision-makers across all sectors and help us grow our supporter base in the local community
- identify and trial new ways of delivering our ambitions and priorities
Across our regions, we have six advisory boards:
