Birmingham Heartlands Canal Ring
Bringing the Heartlands Canal to Life
As part of a project led by the charity The Waterways
Trust, Zohra and Naseem are working with communities in the
Bordesley, Saltley and Nechells areas of Birmingham to transform
the Birmingham Heartlands Canal Ring into a dynamic community
resource.
Since starting the project in April, interest amongst local
residents has been immense.
So far Zohra and Naseem have set up a programme of healthy
walks, organised bicycle training,
angling and craft
activities.
The towpath along the canal is a great way to improve your
lifestyle. Zohra and Naseem are working with lots of different
groups, encouraging people to take steps towards healthier
living.
The waterway is also a fantastic education resource and the team
are hard at work putting together a resource pack for local schools
about the canal, its history and wildlife.
Check out some of the projects we have established and get in
touch with Zohra or
