Canal & River Trust /Peoples Postcode Lottery /Help For Heroes joint £500,000 project with 4 canal trusts
Our Trust volunteers have been joined at Pewsham by military veterans from Help for Heroes to work together in our restoration project on this historic site near Chippenham. The veterans will be with us for 6 weeks.
In welcoming them, Roderick Bluh, Chairman, Wilts & Berks Canal Trust said: “It is a great privilege to welcome the Heritage Heroes to our project. Our Trust team has worked hard over the last year in preparation for this day, and we are delighted to be working with the veterans who have joined us from Help for Heroes. I hope that they will gain the experience and skills that they are seeking from our project, but more than that, I hope that both groups of volunteers will learn from each other and in the process be able to continue the friendships that have been forged during this shared time together.”
