The canal college Final Report is now available. You can download it on our website.
Our two year canal college® programme, which cruised to a close in May 2015, was a huge success.
- 165 young people took part
- over 60% moved on to a job, training, education or volunteering
- 24 volunteer mentors shared their time and invaluable life skills
- together, everyone contributed a staggering 19,568 volunteer hours (the equivalent of almost £1m in time) to helping keep the historic waterways looking amazing
We’re grateful to funders the Heritage Lottery Fund, the European Union Interreg IVB North West Europe project ‘Green & Blue Futures’, Scottish Natural Heritage and Scottish Canals for enabling us to establish canal college.
