Waterways can provide the inspiration for so much that is important in all our lives – for education and learning, for appreciation of the natural environment, for understanding of our heritage and who we are, for relaxation and activity, and for regeneration and renewal of our society and economy. At The Waterways Trust, we are working with others to help ensure as many people as possible are able to learn from, care for and enjoy Britain’s canals and rivers. In this Review you will see how we have progressed in this work over the last year.

Throughout our work we are reliant on the support of others we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our success this year – the volunteers and supporters who have helped in so many ways by making a donation or participating in our work. We are also indebted to the organisations who have provided funding and the charitable trusts and grant-giving bodies who have helped make our work possible.

Last but by no means least we thank our team of staff and Trustees. Their energy and commitment is absolutely vital to all that we do.

Looking forward, our priorities are to extend our work within communities and to bring new audiences to our museums so that more adults and children have the opportunity to appreciate the value of our canals and rivers, both in the past and in the future. There is still much to do and, together with our partners, we are rising to the challenge.
