About The Trust

Since 1999 The Waterways Trust has worked to enrich peoples' lives through waterways. The Trust's vision is to see the UK waterway network supported, valued and enjoyed by everyone. By identifying need, building partnerships, raising funds and delivering projects, the Trust is helping communities to become greener, healthier, safer, smarter and wealthier.

We do this as a charity and partnership organisation always working with others.

Greener - projects and activities that provide people with new insights into heritage and the environment, its care, improvement and interpretation and sustainability.

Healthier - projects and activities that promote and encourage healthy activity and lifestyles, provide new and innovative experiences, are inclusive and improve access to waterways for all.

Safer - projects and activities to promote safe use of the waterways, discourage anti-social behaviour, promote respect for others and the environment and strengthen communities.

Smarter - provide new and innovative learning experiences, particularly for young people, that are fulfilling and encouraging achievement, relevant to employment and tailored to personal needs.

Wealthier - projects and activities that create the conditions for inward investment, employment and economic prosperity by improving the waterways for all, raising participation and appreciation of the waterways in the community, improving the local skillbase and engendering ownership and pride.
