The Active Thames Fund is dedicated to fostering growth in water sports and enhancing the use of the Thames Path National Trail. It is focused on improving access, diversity, and inclusion, while raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity in blue spaces.
With over 15,000 football pitches worth of blue space, the tidal Thames is a fantastic place to get active.
There is also an extensive network of inland waterways, which provide even more space for people to enjoy, and perfect locations to gain the skills and confidence needed to take on the tidal river. This is why the fund is also open to inland waterways connected to the Thames in London, Kent and Essex.
