Waterways Wellbeing - Canoeing - Kilby Bridge

The Canal and River Trusts, Waterways Wellbeing project in the East Midlands. (Nottingham/Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire).

We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because 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, really can make us feel happier and healthier.

With ever increasing rates of obesity, stress and declining mental health in the UK, we are uniquely placed to make a significant contribution to improving the wellbeing of millions of people. Our general sessions are open to over 18s and participants can be referred onto them via social prescribers, link workers, community and faith groups or through other charities. We also take self-referrals.

Bespoke activities can be organised for community groups/charities/families or for young people. (sessions can be designed to meet specific requirements)

Our waterways are making a difference to millions of lives every year. We want as many people as possible to feel the difference by making canals and rivers part of their daily lives.

To be referred onto our activities please speak to your GP, social prescriber link worker or local area coordinator. Alternatively you can contact your Canal & River Trust, Wellbeing coordinator to find out more or get involved.
