Restoring 70 miles of canal and towpath for the benefit of local communities, wildlife and leisure

Studley Grange

Appeal to all our supporters: a task that looked almost impossible has been completed through the support of our enthusiastic members... and with substantial loans of nearly £300,000 from three of our members in 2016 and 2017, which we need to repay.

How can you help?   We have targeted raising an extra £25,000 each year via regular donations from members and supporters in order to repay these loans. Please read our appeal letter here for more details of how you can help the Trust achieve this target.

Thank you   To all our members and supporters, from all the Trust management: we are confident with your help that the Trust can recover from this extremely difficult, but temporary, financial situation and continue with our work to complete this amazing project.
