We’re on the lookout for a friendly, enthusiastic volunteer to help make our events run smoothly and create a positive experience for everyone who visits the Grand Union Canal, a beautiful jewel running through Brent.

No experience? No problem! We’ll provide all the support and guidance you need to succeed.

  • Capture amazing moments at our events
  • Welcome attendees, sign them in, and ensure everyone feels at home.
  • Share information about the Canal & River Trust and assist with inductions.
  • Support our donation efforts to keep the Canals thriving.

What we’re looking for:

  • A local resident who knows and loves the Brent Canal area.
  • A friendly, can-do attitude.
  • Availability to support at events throughout the year on various days of the week
  • Commitment of at least once a month or more if you would like
  • Attend our Meet & Greet Session on Thursday 6, February at 2pm (alternative dates available) and meet the team! Afterward, join a training session (date & location TBC).

What's in it for you:

  • Be an integral part of vibrant community events.
  • Gain valuable experience in event coordination and customer service.
  • Meet like-minded individuals who are passionate about their local area.
  • Make a real difference in your community!

We’re looking for individuals who are enthusiastic, reliable, and local to the area, as your presence will help us build a stronger, more connected community. Whether you're looking to gain event experience, build your portfolio, or simply enjoy the energy of a local event, we’d love to have you as part of the team!

We welcome people of all abilities & backgrounds to our sessions. Our team have taken part in disability awareness workshops and are happy to help. Please get in touch with us if you would like to talk about how we can support you in volunteering with us.
