We are 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, really does 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 improve the wellbeing of millions of people. Our canals and rivers run through some of the most heavily populated communities in England and Wales, providing accessible green and blue space where it’s needed the most.

The star of our film, Well-B, has recently discovered that our canals and rivers are a great place to spend time to recharge. We don’t know how, but Well-B gets energy from people and places.

Well-B loves all the different things going on down by the water. Walking, running, biking, boating, fishing, resting, spotting wildlife or simply seeking a bit of head space Well-B knows for sure that life’s better by water and the more time people spend there, recharging in their own favourite way, the happier and healthier they can feel.
