The Canal & River Trust is the charity that looks after and brings to life 2000 miles of waterways, because we believe life is better by water.

Canal & River Explorers is the main learning programme of the Trust, aimed at primary schools and uniformed groups such as Cubs and Brownies. We inspire children's learning by connecting them to our canals and rivers. Each canal and river is unique and offers powerful ways to engage children and bring learning to life. Our learning programme is closely linked to the national curriculum and group badges. Our dedicated volunteers lead inspiring visits on the towpath, in our museums or in your school or clubhouse.
