The charity making life better by water

The Big Help Out

We took part in the Big Help Out 2024 to help protect our canals, rivers and wildlife.

The Big Help Out 2024

Almost 6.5 million people across the UK participated in The Big Help Out on the weekend from the 7 – 9 of June 2024.

What is The Big Help Out?

The Big Help Out is a national volunteering event. With an aim to help people find the joy in volunteering, there are lots of opportunities to take part.

Why support it?

We joined The Big Help Out in 2023, and an incredible 7.2 million people took part, nation-wide. It's an amazing chance to showcase how volunteering benefits both communities and those who take part.

How can you get involved?

Although The Big Help Out is over, that doesn't mean you can't join one of our amazing volunteering opportunities. We have an incredible variety of roles that keep our precious 250-year old network of canals and rivers alive. We're always adding new opportunities, so don't worry if you can't find anything in your area, keep checking in.
