Major Recruitment Drive Launches For Foxton Locks Volunteers

The Canal and River Trust has launched a major recruitment drive for volunteers to work at Foxton Locks.

The charity is looking to recruit people to assist with a variety of roles at the popular beauty spot, from gardening and maintenance to lock-keeping and helping with its visitor service.

Already a dedicated team of 68 volunteers work alongside staff at the site and it is hoped to increase that number to around 90.

A series of volunteer welcome events will take place over the coming weeks for people to find out more about the roles on offer and how they can make a real difference by giving up their time to help.

Alex Goode is the site manager for the Canal and River Trust at Foxton Locks and spoke to HFM’s Nick Shaw:
