SUPPORT US!

Do you remember how derelict and unattractive the Union Canal was by the 70’s and 80’s?
LUCS volunteers helped save it from that sorry state.
It is now a beautiful place from which to explore, celebrate or relax.
Our volunteers are currently refitting our flagship Victoria.
At over 50 years old she needs it, including a new electric engine!
We’ll keep her going for years to come – quiet, clean, and safe.
We need your support to give Victoria that fresh lease of life.
Have you some £s to spare – or Dollars, Euros, Rupees, Ren, Yen, or Won?
Please click on https://www.lucs.org.uk/donations/ and become part of the next 50 years of LUCS success!
SPONSOR US! If your business, company or organisation values what we do for canal & community, let’s discuss how a donation might be acknowledged in a way that benefits you. Please email info@lucs.org.uk and our volunteer fundraiser will be in touch with you.
