Volunteer with us
Our volunteers are an essential part of what we do.
Ways to volunteer
Dip your toe in
Pop along for an hour or two to join your local branch’s canal clean-ups and work parties, helping you to get outdoors, and make a visible difference to the waterways in your area. Many of our branches hold evening and daytime social events and talks about the waterways. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Jump right in
If you have more time to offer, we have a range of committees and advisory panels at local, regional and national levels. There are lots of ways to get involved, from organising events to monitoring planning applications to editing newsletters. Vacancies and opportunities become available all the time, so let us know if you would like to do something else that’s not advertised at the moment.
Come on holiday with us
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!
Support our campaigns
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 fundraise for us. See which of our campaigns inspire you the most…
