Our volunteers keep the canal alive maintaining, improving, and restoring it for all to enjoy.

Whether you can give a few hours or a regular commitment, there’s a role for you from joining a team or leading a task to becoming a Trustee. Everyone has something to offer, whatever your skills or experience.

We’re always looking for help in areas like marketing, events, fundraising, education, IT, engineering, ecology, and more  but enthusiasm is all you really need. Volunteering is rewarding, social, and fun!

Our Task Team meets every couple of weeks, usually at weekends, to help care for and improve the canal corridor. Activities include fence repairs, vegetation clearing, path maintenance, litter removal, bridge painting, and even uncovering hidden structures.

We work with local councils and community groups to keep the canal a safe, attractive, and enjoyable space — and soon we’ll be taking on restoration and construction projects too.

Everyone’s welcome — no experience needed. Join for a full session or just part of the day, do what you can, and enjoy fresh air, friendly company, and the satisfaction of making a difference.

Many organisations encourage staff to volunteer — whether for team-building days, personal development, or community projects. Whether it’s a few hours, a full day, or something regular, every bit helps!

We welcome volunteers with professional, practical, or supporting skills — from planning and admin to hands-on canal maintenance. We work with local councils and community groups to improve the canal corridor and will soon be expanding into restoration and construction projects.

Get involved, make a difference, and enjoy doing something worthwhile together.
