The waterways body, the Canal and River Trust, could lose £300m of government funding from 2027.
Daisy Hampshire says canal users like her could end up homeless if the cutbacks are madeVolunteers have criticised plans to cut the grant given to the body that looks after the nation's canals.
A review, published on 11 July, said the trust should aim for a "reduced reliance on government funding". Geoff Wood, IWA task party joint team leader in Northampton, said volunteers "do the jobs that the Canal and River Trust would not get round to doing"."It might be that they get better value because the money is better spent. But the worst possible case is that in maybe 10 years' time you start to see certain canals close because they cannot be maintained.
"We have been discussing this with the charity for some time and have been offering support on how it can increase income from other sources, as per the original objective of the grant funding."
