If you have more time to offer, we have a number of committees at local, regional and national levels that make sure we’re listening and talking to the right people and reacting appropriately. There are lots of ways to get involved from organising events to monitoring planning applications to editing newsletters.
Pop along for an hour or two to join your local branch’s canal clean-ups & work parties helping you to get outdoors and make a visible difference to the waterways in your area.
If you’ve got a week (or even just a weekend) to spare then you could restore a canal with modern day navvies, across England and Wales. No experience required!
Keep your eyes and ears open and let your local branch know of anything that may be detrimental to the waterways. Plus you could support our campaigns, share what we are doing or fundraising for us.
We’ve got volunteer roles that don’t fit into the above, and if you have a skill you’d like to donate then chat to us and we’ll explore how you can help.

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.
We’re campaigning to protect canals and rivers from the damaging effects of HS2, especially where the tranquillity of the waterways is under threat.
