By fundraising for us you're helping to #KeepCanalsAlive.
From helping us fight plastic pollution to protecting the future of our historic 2,000-mile-long network, the money you raise will do so much for our canals and rivers, for the communities who enjoy them and for the wildlife that depends on them.
Together, we can make life better by water.
Your fundraising could be used to install a Kingfisher nesting box, or plant eight cherry trees or fruit trees, providing environments for and allowing wildlife across our network to flourish.
The money you raise could fund 50 litter pickers, helping to remove the 14 million pieces of plastic that get into our canals and rivers each year, preserving the natural beauty of the waterways.
Your fundraising could help create 30m of canalside water vole habitats to provide much needed shelter for this fascinating waterway mammal, whose population has fallen by 95% since the 1970s.
