That means we all have to invest time in understanding our governance arrangements and making them work outstandingly well. We have designed a handbook to help everyone appreciate our governance and how to make it work most effectively.
It gives an overview for people who are new to the Trust and a handy reference with cross-referencing for people already contributing to our governance. In the handbook you can find information about the Council, the Board of Trustees, the Welsh Board and the Waterway Partnerships.
