The BCN Society is a charity formed in 1968, with aims of conserving, improving and promoting the use of 100 miles of canal in Birmingham and Black Country. Specifically we are raising funds to repair our workboat Phoenix. She is essential in providing us with means to undertake our work.

Story

After 25 years of sterling serviceour workboat Phoenix is in desperate need of attention. She has worked tirelessly and has had a hard life and now requires investment to make her safe and fit for purpose.

A recent marine survey has identified a range of faults that require remedial work. The largest of these is over plating the bottom as a result of a lot of corrosion and pitting to the steel. Other works include an engine overhaul, replacement stern gear, repairs to the fuel tanks and finally coating with two pack.

Your donation wil help get Phoenix back in the water and undertaking the jobs she was designed to do.
