Meet last year's top prize winner

A regular supporter of the Trust, Chris from the West Midlands found out he had won while at work and said: "It was great news to hear, I felt very surprised and very lucky to have won!"

Chris loves every aspect of the canal network. "The scenic countryside, historic engineering and buildings, are all worth preserving for future generations."

That belief is why supporting the Trust matters to him. "Have a go, you never know you may get a surprise call at work to tell you, you have won!"

Play the Grand Canal Spring Raffle today and help support vital projects.
