Canal and River Trust looks to open Stone ‘welcome station’

The Canal and River Trust is looking to open a new mobile welcome station in Stone.

It’s currently looking for volunteers to act as ‘greeters’, people who talk with passing visitors and locals about the canals and the surrounding area.

Do you like meeting and chatting to people? Are you interested in the local area and its waterways?

If you can answer yes to the above, then the Canal and River Trust in Staffordshire would love to hear from you.

They are looking to expand their team of ‘greeters’ across the central Shires waterways with new mobile welcome stations to take to visitors wherever they are. And they’re looking to get one up and running in Stone.

Greeters act as the face of the Trust, playing a key part in a visitor experience role.  The Trust are looking for people who are keen to talk with passing visitors and local residents about the canals and surrounding area.

Extensive knowledge is not essential, as the Trust will provide support and assistance, but an interest in the waterways and the local area would be beneficial.

If you’d like to find out more, please call Tom Freeland on 01827 252010
