Volunteering opportunities along the inland waterways
Volunteering on UK canals and rivers, find out how to volunteer, what’s in it for you and volunteering opportunities on your doorstep.
As British Waterways moves towards the third sector, volunteering is going to become an integral part of the company's structure. In this section of waterscape you can read about existing British Waterways volunteers, find out about the benefits of volunteering and look for opportunities, not just on the canals and rivers, but from home and from our offices as well.
Volunteering for British Waterways can take many forms and volunteers are welcomed in our offices, heritage sites and on the towpath. From graphic designers to local waterway rangers there's sure to be something on offer to suit your skills and abilities.
Britain's canals and rivers are a national treasure. If you want them to be enjoyed by future generations, join the hundreds of people already helping out and volunteer with British Waterways.
