Welcome Session (Welcome Session - Standedge Tunnel)

Are you interested in volunteering at the Canal and River Trust but don’t know where to start? Our Welcome Sessions are the perfect place to meet the local teams, talk to our volunteers, and see the range of activities you could get involved with. You can find an opportunity that best suits your interests, skills, availability and ability, whether that’s outside on the canals, at one of our attractions, or from the comfort of home.

Join us at Standedge Tunnel and Cafe, HD7 6NQ between 10:00-12:00 to explore what volunteering in the Trust could look like for you. We have some of our Volunteer Leaders Rik, Gordon, Mickie and Martin, to talk about how volunteers support them and help keep the canals flowing
