Whether you come to us as an individual or through your company, you are invited and welcome to help us as a volunteer member Shadwell Basin. You will gain new skills and could get qualifications in sailing, rowing or kayaking that will be with you wherever you go in the future.

We are always looking for committed volunteers to come and help us deliver our activities, maintain the centre and fleet and to help others.

There are four main areas you can assist us with (or feel free to assist with all four!)

• Water Activities – Kayak and Canoe coaching, competent fixed seat rowing coxes, powerboat drivers, etc.
• Fundraising – Organise fundraising events and research funding opportunities or take part in our rowing and fundraising challenges or write grant applications for us.
• Maintenance – Help keep our fleet and centre ship-shape by cleaning, painting and general DIY – all skills welcome!
• Driving – Help us to drive a minibus for youth residential (anyone with a D1 licence or UK licence before 1997?);
