WRG North West

WRG NW volunteers are based all over the country. We organise working weekends, or “digs”, usually around the north of England. We also attend canal festivals to raise funds to support our work.

Join us on a dig

Please let us know if you’re planning to come along to one of our digs, so that meals and accommodation can be organised in advance.

Transport to weekend digs can usually be arranged from Manchester, leaving on a Friday evening (often about 7.30 pm from Failsworth or City Centre). WRG transport is FREE.

The cost of food is usually £10 to £15 for a full weekend (2 Breakfast, 2 Lunches and 1 Evening Meal) or £2 to £3 for a single meal.  Accommodation is FREE, but usually quite basic.

If you are interested in joining the WRG North West team, or are a waterway restoration group or navigation authority that would like a visit from WRG North West, then contact Helen Gardner at wrgnorthwest(at)waterways.org.uk.
