Bringing waterways back to life
Volunteers have the opportunity to learn new skills whilst getting involved in worthwhile projects such as building new bridges, restoring lock chambers, bank protection and vegetation clearance. Our ‘canal camp’ working holidays attract a wide range of people: from young volunteers taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme; to waterway enthusiasts who want to help restore and preserve the waterway network; to people who have skills such as engineering or brick-laying and want to do something worthwhile and satisfying with their leisure time.
