Become a volunteer on Glasgow's canal
Get outdoors, meet local people, contribute to your community,
conserve the past and look after wildlife. Canal volunteering can
mean all that and more.
There are lots of community volunteering
opportunities - you just need to find the right
role. Tell us about your interests and availability. We'll
put you in touch with other local volunteers and help you get
involved.

Canal Community Liaison Officer
Working for the Waterways Trust Scotland the CCLO can
be found out and about along the canal in Glasgow. The main role is
to inspire people to get out to learn about and make use of their
local canal. This can be teaching children about the canals
wildlife during boat trips, leading walks to encourage people to
get more active, working with volunteers carrying out practical
conservation work, and supporting the work of local 'Friends'
groups. Past partnership work has produced the Forth & Clyde
canal board game, a canal reminiscence kit, and a set of
walks leaflets available in hard copy or online. For more
