Charitable trusts and foundations are helping us to increase our impact on people and their communities through generous grants.
This vital funding enables us to embark on new projects, using our waterways and museums as unique spaces that make a difference to people’s lives.
Charitable grants help us to achieve much more so that an increasing number of people can get out there and enjoy all that the waterways have to offer. From education and arts initiatives to projects bringing communities together to enhance heritage sites and protect their local environment.
Recent projects that our trusts and foundations supporters have helped us to bring to fruition have included:
- The Window on the World heritage restoration project
- Our Artist in Residence at the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port
- From Birmingham to the Sea redevelopment project at Gloucester Waterways Museum
- Nantwich Aqueduct makeover
- Creating water vole homes on the River Stort
- The Line sculpture walk
- Skills for the Future training scheme
- Community Roots environmental volunteering programme
