Story

Please support The Bridge 19-40 Union Canal Society ..

The Big Splash is an appeal to help support the many small waterway-based  charities in our local communities to ensure their survival during these unprecedented times.

Without immediate help, the coronavirus pandemic could prove disastrous for charities such as the Bridge 19-40 Union Canal Society

The future of these charities - who provide vital opportunities for local
people, often disadvantaged, with disabilities or simply unable to
otherwise enjoy the waterways - is threatened. Many of them have seen
their fundraising income drastically reduced, putting the benefit they
provide to so many communities at risk.

These very local charities provide people with opportunities in life where,
and when, it is needed the most - from helping tackle loneliness and
dementia, to supporting disadvantaged children and young people in some of the most deprived parts of the country.

What they all have in common is that they carry out their invaluable work on our wonderful waterways bringing beauty and well being to the heart of diverse communities.

All the funds raised by The Big Splash will go direct to your nominated
favourite canal organisation to ensure they can continue to operate in
the months and years ahead.

Please give what you can, every act of generosity counts.

About the charity

Like many waterway-based charities, the Bridge 19-40 Union Canal Society, is unable to offer public boat trips and other canal-based activities during the current Coronavirus pandemic. We’re hoping to generate donations to help us replace the income that we would have generated in our main operating season, from April – October. Our charity provides opportunities for communities and local people who enjoy the many aspects of our canal network. Canals – and our boat trips - support the health and well-being of the many people who visit them, as well as providing valuable tourist and community facilities. We help to maintain the section of the Union Canal between Bridges 19 and 40, taking in the towns and villages of Broxburn, Winchburgh and Philpstoun. The wealth of history and many points of interest along this stretch are highlighted here: https://sway.office.com/P67Wx3T38wg0Fcve?ref=email
