The charity making life better by water
Making life better by water
Canals need many hands to look after them. By volunteering with us, you can really make a difference.
Whether you can spare a few minutes or a couple of days, from lock keeping to wildlife conservation, we have an incredible variety of volunteer roles.
This year, we will be hosting a number of welcome events across our regions, where you'll be able to discover more about volunteering with us, get the chance to ask us any questions and meet other volunteers.
It’s great to think that you can improve your own wellbeing, your community and even the environment in one go, just by volunteering!
Volunteering is a great way to get active and meet new people, all against the backdrop of our country's stunning canals and rivers.
With your help we can help wildlife thrive, and people can find health, happiness and wellbeing on their doorstep.
Meet our volunteers and find out why they've chosen to get involved and how it's made a difference to their lives.
