Making life better by water

Description

The Canal & River Trust is the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because we believe that life is better by water. 'Explorers' is the Trust's education programme aimed at schools or groups working with children aged 5-11. 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.

Discover the magic of your local waterway and book a group visit with us today.

Informative and friendly volunteers - children enjoy and learn a lot from their visit about canals which is part of our local history. The volunteers also meet us at the coach drop off to demonstrate the locks. (February 2020 - Primary School)
