The Waterways Trust 10 years of enriching people's lives through waterways

Be Part of it

Many organisations have been working hard to raise the funding needed for the restoration. £10.5 million has already been secured but to 'unlock' this, we need to raise a further £1 million. This means that every gift that we receive will unlock ten times that amount from other sources. So a gift of £43.47 to restore ½ a metre of the canal will in fact be a donation worth £434.70

Make a donation to the restoration appeal and you too will be part of this historic project.

11,500 metres of canal need to be restored, with a target of £1 million this means that each metre will cost £86.95. If you help us to secure a metre of canal, we will commemorate your support on a special plaque mounted on a 'Brindley' post in Vines Park.

The Barge Canal was built by James Brindley, one of the founding fathers of canal design: like Brindley, you too can leave your mark on Droitwich's famous canals.
