Following approval of its planning application, the Wey & Arun Canal Trust is starting work on a new restoration project south of Bramley in Surrey. The site is at Rooks Hill and extends for 800 metres south from a recently restored section at Birtley Green.

Phase I will see the construction of a bridge over which the Greensand Way will cross the canal.  Along with the bridge, the banks and canal cut to the south of the bridge alongside Fanesbridge Cottage will be created and a culvert under the canal will be repaired.

The costs of phase 1 is estimated at £286k.  The Trust already has donatioins off £86k to start work but this appeal has a target to raise a further £200k

More information on the project can be found on our restoration pages.

Gift Aid is a simple way to increase the value of your gift to WACT - at no extra cost to you. If you pay tax in the UK, WACT can reclaim the basic rate tax (25%) on your gift. So, if you donate £100, it is worth £125 to WACT.

I want to Gift Aid my donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years to The Wey & Arun Canal Trust. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

By selecting 'Yes' above you are confirming that

  1. You are a UK taxpayer
  2. The amount of income and/or capital gains tax you pay is at least as much as we will reclaim on your donations in this tax year

Choose either:

  • payment by CARD and enter your card details or...

  • pay later by Bank Transfer (preferred for large amounts to reduce fees),

and then click the "Complete Payment" button.

If you have made a donation, we can claim 25% Gift Aid from the Government on this amount.
