Since 1946 The Inland Waterways Association and its thousands of members have campaigned for the conservation, use, maintenance, restoration and sensitive development of Britain's canals and river navigations.
IWA works closely with navigation authorities, other waterway bodies, a wide range of national and local authorities, voluntary, private and public sector organisations to raise funds, lobby for support and encourage public participation. The Association also supplies voluntary labour through its subsidiary Waterway Recovery Group. More than 500 miles of canals and river navigations have been re- opened to public use since the Association was founded in 1946. More than 500 miles of further derelict inland waterways are currently the subject of restoration plans.
Every member of the Association is a member of the branch of their choice (usually the branch covering their home address if they do not opt to be a member of a different branch).
Branches hold regular meetings with talks, slide shows, social evenings etc., and most produce a local newsletter or magazine. The network of 36 branches is a vital focal point for local activities and lobbying.
The IWA is registered as a charity No 212342. For more information about the IWA visit the main website at www.waterways.org.uk.
