Hello! I’m John and I’m the Trust’s Volunteer Development Officer. I work to increase, develop and support our incredible volunteers who so generously give their time to help deliver our projects, from our Green Action Angels to our canal college mentors.
Before coming to the Trust, I worked for Scottish Canals, so I’m no stranger to the incredible environments and opportunities Scotland’s waterways offer. We create brighter futures for people through our projects and our volunteering activities and every day I see the impact our work has on people’s lives. It would be wonderful to see how many more lives we could have help transform if we had more resources.
If you or your company want to help us make a real difference to people’s lives and the incredible environments of the canals, I want to hear from you. From maintaining the world’s only rotating boat lift, to adopting a stretch of canal or helping create and lead nature walks, there are a huge number of options no matter what your skills, age or free time.
