Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

Waterways Chaplains reach out to people in need on our rivers and canals, supporting the increasing number of boaters who are signposted to us by the Canals and Rivers Trust Welfare Officers. We also support other boaters who are concerned for someone they have come across in need. We build relationships and help sort more involved issues with boaters alleviating poverty and improving health.
