Our Partnership is one of a number of local waterway partnerships created as an integral part of the governance of the new Trust. The local partnerships are an important outward looking component of the Trust structure as they aim to engage locally with people, decision makers and communities. As advisory partnerships, focusing on local vision and aspirations rather than operational matters, they generate great added value to the work of the trust as they develop and mature. My partnership members have been recruited from a diverse interest base and are drawn from all across the waterway area. We have spent a significant part of our formative year both collectively and individually, out and about across the region and increasing our knowledge about the work of the Trust in aspects such as such as volunteering, fundraising, heritage, development and enterprise.

    Trustees’ Report and Accounts For the period 12 October 2011 to 31 March 2013 Trustees’ Report & Accounts 1 “ The Canal & River Trust has been described as the ‘oldest new charity in the country’ and it has the potential to be one of the greatest voluntary sector organisations. Miranda Krestovnikoff “Reports like these tend to be about the numbers – and this one won’t disappoint! – but our precious canals and rivers cannot be captured in a spreadsheet. They are more than the bridges, the locks, the channels and aqueducts – vital as they are. They are more than the water, and the boats and wildlife that depend on it. “They are about people. “ What the Trust does is important not simply because it conserves precious spaces, but because these spaces are special for everyone who experiences them. Space to escape, to find solace, to have fun, to reclaim our childlike sense of wonder. We are just the latest generation of individuals adding our stories to those that have gone before us. We want these stories to inspire and be retold by the people who come after us. “That is quite a challenge. It is why we need the Canal & River Trust.” – Miranda Krestovnikoff, Wildlife expert & broadcaster Open the fold-out to discover some highlights of our story so far 4 Trustees’ Report & Accounts June: David Suchet, Timothy West, August: London John Craven, Miranda Krestovnikoff to Brussels cycle and Paul Atterbury announced as our ride raises nearly first Friends.

  • Draft Derby and Sandiacre Canal Project Report
    A.Executive Summary Key investigation evidence The audience for canal use, both amongst generalist canal towpath users and boat users, is broadening, and is increasing. [National evidence on boatusers, British Waterways Appendix 2.2.; local survey project data App 2.2,3]. The evidence suggests that there is already demand for the added resource of the completed restoration of the Canal. The audience for the Canal, locally and canals generally, consists of locals; regional and national users; international users. Evidence shows that the opening of the `full ring` of the DSC will attract more users, not least from a wider area. Canal use delivers especially the pressing demand for relaxation, and associated health. [local survey data App.2.2] There is evidence of significant opportunity in the use of the canal resource to enable increased access for individuals with disabilities to participate in their value, drawn from several case studies. [App. 2.3, 2.4, 2,5.] There is evidence of significant opportunity in the use of the canal resource for a wide range of educational purposes [App. ] The Derby and Sandiacre Canal offers considerable opportunities to fulfil the several regional and local policy objectives [Appendix 2.1.]. Environmental and access-related regeneration can be ably support through its associated potential for economic and other added-value, delivering across several policy areas that support and prioritise such resources as canals. This means that the Canal resource can deliver opportunities in a joined-up way The DSCT is committed to enhancing the canal audience and in particular its value as a resource for educational and disability support opportunities.

  • The Volunteer
    Alan Sumnall The Volunteer Volunteer Coordinator The Volunteers Newsletter of South Wales & Severn Waterways Spring/Summer 2014 www.canalrivertrust.org.uk/volunteer Welcome to the latest edition of our volunteer newsletter – we haven’t got a name as yet so we are calling it ‘the Volunteer’ for now but please send in your ideas for a name and there’ll be a cash prize for the chosen suggestion! You will see from the newsletter that there’s a lot going on in our region and I am always amazed to hear about the great work that our volunteers do. The dedication and enthusiasm is incredible and I’m grateful to all those who give up their spare time to make a difference to our local waterways. You may have heard that our new Chief Executive, Richard Parry, has recently launched the new Vision for the Canal & River Trust – living waterways that transform places and enrich lives. This is an inspiring Vision that you as volunteers have a real impact on and I’m sure you share with me the optimism for our future. As well as the Vision, our staff have also been learning about the new core Values – they are Caring, Local, Open, Involving, and Excellent These values drive our behaviours and it will be an obligation of all our people to ensure that we stick by these new Values if we are ever going to realise the Trust’s vision. Do speak to your local volunteer manager about the new Vision and Values as it is important that you at least understand them, and better still, adopt them whenever you are representing the Trust.
