HOW
CAN
WE
HELP?

Offering care and support

Chaplains are volunteers working in your local community who regularly visit the rivers and canals int their area. 

 

They offer help, companionship and a listening ear to individuals and waterways businesses. They are interested in whomever they meet, be they boaters, cyclists, walkers, runners, anglers or canal workers.

 

We build and maintain relationships that often help to sort out more involved issues such as poverty, or health & financial problems.

 

There are many ways a Waterways Chaplain can help out. Here are just a few examples:

  • Referral to Foodbanks or Chaplains own food parcels.
  • Support with your dealings with Authorities e.g. CRT, EA, Local Councils, benefit claims.
  • Help with laundry, getting fuel etc.
  • Coffee and a chat.
  • Boat blessings and/or renamings.
  • Calling out an engineer through our retainer account with River Canal Rescue (RCR).
  • Any other matter? Get in touch with us.
Delivering help to someone in need.

How can a Waterways Chaplain help you?

"...I can’t thank you all enough and my local surgery for recommending I contact you and a higher power for helping out too. I feel very privileged to have been given the help and support I’ve received when I needed it most otherwise it could have been a very different outcome. You have categorically SAVED A LIFE! God bless you all." Boater H (By permission)
