Fund Britain’s Waterways Members
Organisations and groups from across Britain standing together to support the campaign for proper investment in canals and rivers.
A Growing Coalition of Support
Fund Britain’s Waterways is backed by a broad coalition of organisations representing boaters, charities, businesses, campaigners, heritage groups, clubs and waterway users.
- The campaign brings together national bodies, local societies, restoration trusts, marine businesses and boating organisations
- Members reflect the wide public value of canals and rivers, from recreation and wellbeing to heritage, tourism, ecology and transport
- Together, they strengthen the case for long-term government support and proper funding for Britain’s inland waterways
This growing network of support demonstrates that Britain’s waterways matter to communities, organisations and businesses across the country.
