Discover more about the charity keeping the canals alive. Canal & River Trust is the UK's largest canal charity, caring for a 2,000-mile network of stunning canals and navigable rivers.
Connecting many of the UK's urban and rural areas, we provide essential spaces for wildlife and people, helping us all feel happier and healthier.
The 250-year-old waterways in our care – the canals, embankments, culverts and reservoirs as well as the bridges, locks and towpaths – and their vital ecosystems are threatened by the growing impact of climate change and more extreme weather. They need constant upkeep and investment. Without it, they face decline and closure, and we risk losing the incredible benefits they bring.
We invite you to learn all about the work we do to keep the canals alive for everyone to enjoy through this inspiring talk from our volunteers.

We're the charity keeping the canals alive! Find out more about The Canal and River Trust with a FREE talk from one of our volunteers. Discover the history of your local canals and the work we do as a charity to keep this 250 year old network alive today. We want to connect more people to our waterways, so we are bringing the canals to you with these inspiring talks for groups.
Please note talks are subject to availability of our volunteers so we may require some flexibility on dates and times. Talks are around 40 minutes long, but suggest allowing 1 hour for questions and discussion.
Our volunteers come to you, so you will need to arrange an adequate venue. Presentation equipment is preferable (projector/screen etc.) but we can work with what's available.
We have volunteers across the country, so please get in touch and see if we can provide a talk for you at your location.
