We are the charity building a community of Friends to ensure life's better by water for people and nature.
Friends of the Canal & River Trust support us monthly so that, in our increasingly fast-paced and crowded world, your canals and rivers can remain vital local havens.
It could be the stretch you walk the dog along each morning, or your peaceful five mile towpath run on a Sunday morning - we all have a story that connects us to the waterways.
With more and more people enjoying the canals and rivers, watch why Alex supports us - and how it helps him to feel even closer to his local waterway:
