Raising awareness of plastic pollution problems

Stress Awareness Month

April is Stress Awareness Month and members of the Canal and River Trust are big believers in the importance of finding ways to feel happier and healthier, every day. Canals and rivers are the perfect place to unwind, to exercise or to grab five minutes of peace in your busy day.

Whether it’s your lunch-break or a weekend break, feel better for free by using the waterway that’s right on your doorstep.
