Volunteers are our life blood and our charity couldn’t exist without them.

We currently have nearly 150 volunteers on our books, ranging from people who join our tactical working parties, crew for our trip boat, and a range of specialists to assist and advise with specific projects.

We need oodles of people with eminently adaptable general life skills – there will be a job for you! – contact us today!

Whether you have an hour to spare here and there, or more time on your hands – we have a job for almost everyone.

  • 16+ looking for work experience?
  • Add substance to your CV – stand out from the crowd?
  • Retired?
  • Working part-time?

Whilst we’re engaged with the huge task of restoring our canal at Beggarlee, our usual work also needs to continue. We’re always pleased to welcome you on any of our teams to provide help with:

  • Boat trips
  • Canal maintenance
  • Events

Volunteering opportunities really do range from making tea and baking cakes to building locks and driving dumpers, with just about everything in between!

No time to volunteer – but still wish to offer support?  Simply by becoming a member of the charity you help us enormously.  By becoming a member you support our hard working volunteers.  Healthy membership numbers make it easier for us to obtain funding – it demonstrates we have the support of the community!
