Fundraising

We have had to raise millions of pounds to get the restoration of the Montgomery Canal to where it is today and we need raise much more to get the job completed. Here are some ways you can help us…

Many of our supporters have put on fundraising events including music events, quiz evenings and sports events. If you have an idea of a way to raise money in a fun and safe way, why not get in touch to discuss.

Perhaps you are celebrating a special day, such as a birthday or anniversary.

Why not ask your friends, family and colleagues that you’d like a donation to a favourite charity in lieu of presents – and nominate us? You can also remind them that with Gift Aid their generosity will be worth 25% more.

If you would like to create a secure, online fundraiser to benefit the restoration of the Montgomery Canal, you can use our LocalGiving page. Skydive, row the canal or organise a sponsored event – the ideas are endless.

They might even consider joining the Friends of the Montgomery Canal as a way to show ongoing support. Please let them have a copy of our leaflet – download here – or they can donate directly to the restoration effort by following this link.

Leave a legacy

As a charity, we rely a lot on voluntary donations to enable us to continue with the restoration of the Montgomery Canal. Some people choose to make a single donation. Others make regular monthly payments – which enable us to plan ahead knowing what our income will be. Read more here.

Corporate links

Could your business or organisation benefit from a link to our restoration efforts?

Over the years, the Friends of the Montgomery Canal and other organisations have received a large amount of help from corporate organisations. We have benefitted from equipment hire, cash donations, employee volunteering and much more.

If you think you could help us reopen the Montgomery Canal , please get in touch and we can build a sponsorship or employee engagement package which will be of mutual benefit.

We are lucky to have had a good media following over the years, so working with us could benefit not just your Corporate Social Responsibility but your media profile too.
