I was the Creative Producer for the Canal & River Trust’s development project to create a three-year arts strategy for the Gloucester Docks and the Gloucester - Sharpness Canal. This involved the co-creation of a variety of performing and visual arts projects with communities living and working along the waterways.
About Canal & River Trust
Founded in 2012, Canal & River Trust is the UK's largest canal charity, caring for a 2,000-mile network of stunning canals and navigable rivers.
Connecting many of the UK's urban and rural areas, they provide essential spaces for wildlife and people, helping everyone feel happier and healthier.
The 250-year-old waterways in our care – the canals, embankments, culverts and reservoirs as well as the bridges, locks and towpaths – and their vital ecosystems are threatened by the growing impact of climate change and more extreme weather. They need constant upkeep and investment. Without it, they face decline and closure, and we risk losing the incredible benefits they bring.
