Campaigning roles

IWA is at core a campaigning organisation which works to raise awareness, influence key decision makers and take action on behalf of waterways. We know our waterways are special places – but they are at risk from underfunding and thoughtless development. We are campaigning to safeguard their unique environment for future generations.

Support for your Campaigns

Our Branch network are our ambassadors on the ground.  Campaigning at a local level is essential in inspiring the local community to get involved with our latest campaigns.

Here are a few resources to help with your local campaigns.

IWA is the secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group for the Waterways. Find out more here.

Campaigning Support
The day-to-day campaigning work of the Association covers a huge breadth of activity, and even our smaller campaign issues can be regarded as contributing to our wider strategic aims.  IWA’s national committees and employees are on hand to offer advice on how branches can get involved in national campaigns.
