We're the charity building a community of Friends to make sure life is always better by water.
One of the most effective ways to support our work to bring wellbeing opportunities to millions of people is to join our growing community of Friends. Our Friends make a monthly donation, which goes directly towards essential maintenance and care for the canals and rivers we look after.
To show how much we appreciate our Friends, we’ve tailored a bespoke package of benefits including 10% off boating holidays, a magazine packed with waterway inspiration twice a year and free or discounted access to our museums and attractions.
