A message from our Volunteer Coordinator:
Here at Dudley Canal and Caverns a huge part of what I do here is working with the incredible volunteers we have here on site.
Volunteering has always played a huge part in our history and continues to do so. Our volunteers support us and the site everyday; on the towpath with the boat trips, managing the site by gardening, fixing all of the bits and bobs and taking care of customer by answering their questions and pointing them in the right direction.
They also support us in connecting with our local communities by running projects such as Chit Chat and Tunnel Tots, and helping out with our School visitors.
