Will you help us weather the storm?

We need to raise more money to fund our response to damage after Storms Bert, Darragh and Eowyn. With your help, we can be better prepared to respond in an emergency.

No other organisation can protect canals from devastating winter storms like we can. We’re the only charity with the specialist craft, boats and machinery, now we just need your support to help fund our response crews.

Please donate today to help our canal and river network hold strong this winter.

Canals face a perfect storm this winter

This winter, an unprecedented number of storms have hit the UK, with gale force winds and heavy rainfall causing havoc across the country. The damage to our canal network has been devastating and widespread.

Storm Bert’s high winds and torrential rain left boats adrift and flooded locks across the country. Shortly after, wild winds and flooding risks returned as Storm Darragh hammered into the UK. Triggering a rare Red Warning from the Met Office, this felled over 400 fallen trees, blocked navigable waterways and will cost hundreds of thousands in repairs.

Our teams have been working around the clock to deal with the impacts these storms have had on our precious canal network and wildlife habitats.

Help us react, repair and restore our canals

Storms and flooding can destroy the towpaths we walk, the places we fish and the waters we boat along. They can pollute and damage the habitats of the wildlife we treasure.

Our emergency response teams are ready to respond to the next disaster, but with repair costs rising and government support shrinking, our charity urgently needs your support. Donate today to help to keep our canals safe, resilient to future extreme weather and open to all.
