Sign up to one of the upcoming volunteering days with the Canal and River Trust in Birmingham, to help revive the towpaths and make a real difference for everyone who enjoys the canals!
You can join as a volunteer or step up as a volunteer lead. Volunteer leads will receive full training prior to the day.
Typical Plan
9:30 am – 10:00 am Arrival to site and assigned PPE. Followed by the Pre-work Briefing and Health and Safety talk.
10:00 am – 12:30 pm Walk to the location of the days works. Then beginning the task.
12:30 pm – 1:00 pm Lunch break. Not every site will be in easy walk to shops so everyone should bring their own refreshments with them.
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm Continuation of assigned tasks.
2:30 pm – 3:00 pm Pack up and clean-up of site before the end of the session.
3:00 pm The exact time for the end of the session is flexible due to many factors such as weather, completing the task earlier than expect etc. But all sessions will finish by 3:00 pm at the latest.
