We care for a 2,000-mile-long, 200-year-old, network of canals, rivers, reservoirs, and docks. We believe that life is better by water.
Our research shows that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, can make us feel happier and healthier.
With ever-increasing rates of obesity, stress, and declining mental health, our Waterways & Wellbeing social prescribing project supports people where they live. Our canals and rivers run through some of the most heavily populated communities in England and Wales, providing accessible green and blue space where it’s needed the most.
