Volunteer With Us

There are many ways you can participate in voluntary work on the inland waterways through organisations such as the Inland Waterways Association, Waterways Recovery Group, The Wildlife Trusts, BTCV and local canal, community, environment and heritage organisations. Their professional expertise, contacts within local community, fundraising efforts and physical labour help bring more to our waterways, ensuring their long term sustainability.

If there isn’t a job advertised that you’re interested in or you want to help us with our work, how about giving some time and seeing what it’s like to volunteer within British Waterways. This is a good opportunity to gain some experience, meet people and spend more time with British Waterways. Have a look at our volunteering pages.
