Get Involved
CanalAbility is a ‘not for profit’ organisation and we could not operate without our loyal group of volunteers. We are always searching for new volunteers, whether that is to skipper or crew the boats; helping out with administration; lending a hand at the many events we are involved in or maintaining the boats. There is something for everyone and the work is very rewarding.
For canal boat skippers and crew we provide full training free of charge and in return we ask that you are able to commit at least 10 (mutually convenient) days or part days per year.
However, depending on the type of volunteering you are wishing to be involved in you may have to live within easy reach of Harlow, so bear this in mind when considering how you may get involved.
So if you are interested in getting involved you can email us at and someone will be in touch, or alternatively call us on 01279 424444 or come along to one of our events.
