Third Sector Partnerships
We work with a wide range of national and local voluntary sector partners to generate greater interest in waterways and to encourage more people to volunteer in a wide variety of tasks. Volunteers play an invaluable part in our vision for the waterways. They are a vital part of our network and play a huge part in promoting the waterways through events, acting as eyes and ears on the ground and carrying out physical improvements and restoration tasks. There are many organisations we work with to enable more volunteers to get involved 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.
We are currently completing a company-wide review of volunteering and further details will be available shortly.
