Whilst there's absolutely no obligation, we hope you'll consider leaving a gift to our charity. From climate change to the increasing costs of materials, canals are facing their biggest challenges in years. Please help us keep canals alive for future generations to discover.

Add a gift to your existing Will with a Codicil form

A Codicil form allows you to add a gift without needing to re-write your Will.

Simply download our form below and follow the instructions to leave a lasting gift to canals.
