Summary
Do you enjoy solving problems and building creative solutions on a small scale? Could you inspire the next generation by sharing your skills with young people?Detailed description
The Explorers Education team recently partnered with the Cheltenham Science Festival and had a great time helping children build mini cranes using gears and construct load-bearing bridges from simple materials. With just a little knowledge about how things work, children became mini engineers—and loved every moment of it!
Join us for drop-in sessions every Tuesday in August at the National Waterways Museum (10:00–14:00), where you can have a go at the activities yourself. We'll guide you through the builds and share helpful tips.
Then ask yourself… could you teach someone else how to do it?
If the answer is yes, with plenty of support and guidance from our team, you could become our next Explorer Education Volunteer!
We’re currently looking for new volunteers to help us run engaging and hands-on workshops for primary school children during term time, within school hours.

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.
