Welcome Session (Welcome Session Apperley Bridge)

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 Dobson Locks, Apperley Bridge, BD10 0PY between 12:00-13:00 to explore what volunteering in the Trust could look like for you. We have one of our Volunteer Leaders to talk about how volunteers support them and help keep the canals flowing. Our Garden Party will also be here and would love to tell you about what they do.

You don't need to bring anything but yourself or have any prior knowledge about canals- this is just a chance to dip your toe into volunteering at the Trust.
