Stourport Canal Basins Volunteer Programme

Painting new and historic railings

Volunteer Task Description
Volunteers are required to assist with the restoration of Stourport Canal Basins by painting new and historic railings in British Waterways black and white. The task requires volunteers to paint railings in a variety of picturesque locations around the canal basins including the lock gate railings and bridges. Volunteers will be required to work from ground level to head height to paint some railings which may be close to water and drops. Guidance will be provided giving all volunteers the necessary skills and equipment required to carry out the task.

Volunteer Person Specification
No skills are required, however due to the manual nature of the task volunteers are required to possess a reasonable level of physical ability. The work will be carried out from ground level to head height with some areas close to the edge of the water. Life jackets and safety equipment can be provided if where necessary.

Commitment Required
The task will take place during selected weekends throughout the year. We would welcome any volunteers wishing to help out for as little as an hour or as much as the whole day.
