Are you interested in the rich heritage of Gloucester Docks? This is a fantastic opportunity to share your passion for the area with interested walkers.
As part of our warm and welcoming volunteer walk team you will join an experienced group of volunteers who will support you to start your own heritage walks of Gloucester Docks. You can lead the walks as often as you like (ideally a minimum of one per month), and the walks can take between 1-2 hours depending on how much knowledge you would like to share! You will benefit from the skills and knowledge of our Museum volunteer team who will lend a hand with finding out about the area's rich history. As we look to celebrate 200 years of the Docks and G&S canal in 2027 the walks will be expected to operate more frequently.

About Canal & River Trust
Canals need many hands to look after them and by volunteering with us you can help make even more miles of canal blue, green and better.
Volunteering is a great way to get active and meet new people, all against the backdrop of our country's stunning canals and rivers. With your help we can help wildlife thrive, and people can find health, happiness and wellbeing on their doorstep.
No other charity brings so much free, open, and accessible blue and green space to the doorstep of so many. With your support, we can continue our work. Our vision is to have living waterways that transform places and enrich lives.
We care for a 2,000-mile-long, 200-year-old, network of canals, rivers, reservoirs and docks because we believe that life is better by water. We provide a space where people can feel happier and healthier, nature is recovering and history is alive. A space for boating, angling, cycling, walking, paddling or just watching the world drift by. Our research shows that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really can make us feel happier and healthier.
That’s why, here at the Trust, we're working with volunteers and communities across England and Wales to transform canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. We know this will bring wellbeing opportunities to millions.
