To help safeguard the health and habitat of the local area where your employees and stakeholders live and work.
Get involved and bring your team for a day or even a few hours of volunteering. It is an opportunity to appreciate nature, support biodiversity on one of the most species-rich aquatic systems in Britain, help protect this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or future generations to enjoy and importantly an excellent place for team building.
Corporate Membership
Corporate membership is a great way for organisations to support our work to maintain and improve this valued local resource.
From 2025, to celebrate The Basingstoke Canal Society’s 60th birthday, we are launching a corporate membership scheme. Membership costs start at £75 per year.
Corporate Working Days
Participants in our corporate days feedback that they are proud to have contributed to maintaining an important local facility and that it was a great way to connect with colleagues in a memorable way.
The Basingstoke Canal Society is entirely funded by donations and to ensure we are able to keep the canal alive and vibrant we ask for a minimum donation of £500 for every corporate working party day.
Feedback from participants highlights what a great day you can have on the Basingstoke Canal:
“The AECOM Basingstoke team really enjoyed volunteering with the Basingstoke Canal Society in Feb.”
“It was a great opportunity for colleagues to get together for a good cause and to use one of their 2 volunteering days they are given each year. Working on conservation projects like this are a great way to help with staff wellbeing. All felt like they had done some valuable work for BCS while enjoying some winter sun and exercising in the process.”
Mary Kucharska – Associate Director EUR – UK & Ireland, AECOM
“A great day well spent. Thank you to everyone involved!”
“During the volunteering day the team removed three boatloads of hydro cotyle and two and a half black bin liners of litter out of the canal. All litter is then recycled in the correct way.”
