Come and join our Towpath Taskforce in various locations around Inner London on Thursdays and Saturdays. Sessions run from 10:30 am - 3:00 pm. As a Towpath Taskforce Volunteer you will help to support your local canal by cutting back overgrown vegetation, clearing paths, collecting litter, painting, working from one of our boats, and many other tasks. All tools and equipment will be provided, together with expert and friendly support. We will be delighted to see you there.

Welfare facilities are provided at all events by one of our boats (toilet, tea & biscuits etc.).

Joining instructions and exact details will be sent out a week before the event to everyone signed up.

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.

**Please note that under 18's must have a guardian present throughout the session.**

**This event is not for corporate groups, if you would like to book a time for a corporate day out please head to our corporate volunteering pages.**

Why we want you

The Drop-in Role is all about getting a taste of volunteering at the Trust, joining us at your leisure to take part in open in one of our Welcome Sessions, Let’s volunteering opportunities or, if you’re joining us for the first time, this would be a great opportunity for you to get involved.

We have a host of easy to access volunteer opportunities that will help to make a huge impact to your local canal but without having to.

What you will be doing

One-off taster events including our Welcome Sessions

Litter Picking

Let’s activities on the water and on the towpath

When you register as a volunteer, we will ask you about any unspent convictions which you need to declare and risk assess these as needs be.

The skills you need

This role is specifically planned without a need for skills or training. As a result of joining it, you’ll find out about other roles where training may either be needed or can be given to help build your skills. No formal skills required

What's in it for you

The opportunity to decide if volunteering with the Trust is the right place for you as these activities in this role are typically short and one-off.
