Volunteer with us
We rely on volunteers to help us with all aspects of our work. From river surveys to conservation days, the passion and time of local people is at the heart of everything we do at Calder Rivers Trust.
Whether you can spare a few hours a month or are looking for a more regular role, there's a place for you on the riverbank.
Our volunteer roles are open to anyone aged 18 and over, regardless of background and experience.
You don’t need to be an expert, just caring about our waters and their health is all that matters.
Our volunteer roles only ask for a few hours each month. It’s a small commitment with a huge impact.
Our volunteers work alongside staff and fellow community members. A team-oriented attitude goes a long way.

Our sustainable approach
At Calder Rivers Trust, we believe that sustainable design isn’t just a choice, it is an obligation. The health of our natural world is at the heart of everything we do, and that includes our digital footprint. Our approach to building our website reflects our commitment to a world where both our rivers and our climate can thrive.
By using compressed images, simplified code, and optimised content, we ensure our online presence aligns with our mission to protect nature. Through these practices, we have kept our environmental impact to a minimum.
Impact: Our homepage produces just 0.12g of CO₂ per page load.
Performance: This makes our site cleaner than 71% of all web pages tested globally.
Measurement: We track our footprint using Website Carbon, which calculates footprints based on data transfer, energy use, and the carbon intensity of the electricity used.
