Bikes not boats

THE Canal & River Trust want people to promote the Yorkshire's waterways as waterside cycling routes, as ambassadors for the Trust by volunteering.

It is promoting the Tour de Yorkshire that is taking place in May, and wants people to volunteer to be part of the event; chatting with spectators, handing out flyers, and helping them explore the towpath cycling routes during the course of the festivities.

Volunteering experience

CaRT is offering a two or three day volunteering experience consisting of one training day and one or two days volunteering as an ambassador for the Trust. The training will take place at the end of April, refreshments provided and reasonable travel expenses reimbursed.

The event is in May and there will be a chance to socialise after each day of volunteering, and of course the hope that the people will continue to volunteer with such events as the  Leeds Waterfront Festival.
