Many businesses and organisations offer their employees an opportunity to volunteer in work time.
This is sometimes known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Social Value or Employer Supported Volunteering. Volunteering individually or as a team can be a great way to support your local community and give your employees a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Many businesses share their time and skills with a charity through a team away day or team building experience with colleagues.
You can view and register your interest in a Team or Individual Skills Share Volunteering opportunity below. You can also sign up to our quarterly Social Value Newsletter by scrolling to the sign up form at the bottom of this page.
We can also help if you would like to fundraise for a charity/community group, collect donations or share your expertise or resources. Talk to us: email volunteer@tslkirklees.org.uk tel. 01484 519053 / 07776588691

We know this will bring wellbeing opportunities to millions .Our work involves not only looking after our waterways, but promoting them widely to the eight million plus people who have waterways on their doorstep so that many more people benefit from our free, accessible and local source of wellbeing

Tasks will vary and change with the seasons – but could include lock maintenance, painting, vegetation management, planting, towpath repair, wildlife habitat improvements, litter picking and much more. Volunteering with the Trust offers a great way to get outside and active, learn new practical skills and improve you local waterway environment.
All safety procedures and work instructions will be given on the day, you just need to be willing to get stuck in and get dirty. All tools and equipment will be provided, together with expert and friendly support. Sessions are also fully risk assessed and paperwork can be provided.
