Be the Voice of Boating – Become a Boat Champion on the Basingstoke Canal
Are you passionate about canals and boating? Would you like to help grow the boating community and ensure boaters’ voices are heard on one of Surrey and Hampshire’s most beautiful waterways?
The Basingstoke Canal Society is looking for a Boat Champion (or a small team) to help promote, support and represent the interests of boaters on the canal. This is a flexible, rewarding volunteer role that connects you with a wide range of individuals and groups who love life on the water.
What the role involves:
You’ll act as a friendly liaison and champion for all things boating on the canal. Key tasks may include:
Connecting with canal users and boating organisations (e.g. Galleon Marine, Accessible Boating, canoe and kayak clubs)
Keeping boaters informed about events, updates, and important developments
Representing the interests of boaters at twice-yearly BCA–boaters meetings
Being a point of contact for visiting boaters, offering guidance on licensing, moorings, slipways and access
Working with the Society’s press and social media teams to promote stories and events related to boating
The role is highly flexible and can be shaped around your availability and interests. You don’t need to own a boat – just a keen interest in the canal and a desire to support the boating community.
Experience in liaising with groups and individuals will be invaluable.
