The Society was formed in 1969, to protect and restore the Pocklington Canal. It has been a Registered Charity, number 500637, since 15 January 1971. Some members are interested in waterways in general but many just value their local canal.

PCAS promotes the canal as an amenity to be enjoyed by everyone and liaises with public bodies and other organisations that have an interest in the canal. A major objective of the Society is to complete the restoration of the canal to allow boats to reach the terminus at Canal Head.
