The charity making life better by water
Making life better by water
Across the West Midlands 520 miles of canals weave through richly vibrant and culturally diverse communities.
Just over half of Birmingham's population is within walking distance of their local canal we officially have ‘More Canals Than Venice!'
Once at the heart of the industrial revolution, a place of trade, today they are at the core of our national waterways network and play a central role in helping you live a happier, healthier life.
