We are a charity that cares for 2000 miles of waterways. We believe life is better by water and we’re working with volunteers and communities across England and Wales to transform canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. 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.

Join us and work as part of a team to look after your local canal or river. You'll always be volunteering in a team in the great outdoors. You could be planting, painting, doing vegetation management, litter picking or any number of things.

Our taskforce teams look after their sections of local canal. This is an opportunity to join our Linthwaite team meeting on Low Westwood Lane, HD7 5RR.

The group meets once month on Friday, we work 10am till 12.30pm.

It's a great chance to meet new people and learn about how we look after the canals and rivers. These teams are always led by one of our colleagues or Lead Volunteers who make sure that you have the best time and help care for the local waterways.

We welcome people of all abilities & backgrounds to our sessions. Whilst we aim to make all of our sessions accessible to all, some of our locations are more difficult to reach for anyone with access requirements. Please feel free get in touch if you would like to discuss any support you may need.
