The Lower Regent’s Coalition, (LRC) a community-led not for profit volunteer group that run clean-up and improvement events across the stretch of the Regent’s Canal from Limehouse Basin to Mile End Road, and beyond. Formed in 2013, the coalition have been instrumental in the transformation of this previously unloved stretch of canal into a thriving urban oasis and haven for nature.

From donning waders to planting bulbs, to pulling trollies filled with bags of rubbish and sprucing up towpaths, LRC’s band of volunteers have removed over 10,000 bags and 10 tonnes of rubbish from in and around the canal, created more than 400m2 of wildflower meadows with over 20 varieties of plants, and installed 700m2 of floating ecosystems and aquatic planting.

LRC relies on grant funding and over the last 12 years they have built up all the equipment they need to carry out all the work they do. Our HQ and lock up was broken into. The culprits stole anything of value and completely thrashed the lock up.
