The charity making life better by water

Kingfisher in action

We're the charity for canals

We're here for your first glimpse of a kingfisher, your first catch, for feeding the ducks with dad, and to make sure your canal is there for you.

Protecting canals

Every day, we're working for your canals, from repairing lock gates and aqueducts, to teaching children new skills and helping nature thrive.
