Working Parties For further details and updates on the progress made at recent working parties, please visit www.riverstourtrust.org.
The River Stour Trust organises several working parties throughout the year. Our current projects are Stratford St Mary Lock Restoration and work around the River Stour Trust sites at The Granary, Sudbury and the Visitor/Education Centre at Great Cornard.
We are keen to establish any special skills that volunteers may be able to offer such as carpentry, building skills, engineering, ground care and maintenance together with any tools and equipment you could bring with you on the day. We run safe and healthy working parties and ask that you follow any instructions given to you regarding this important matter.
Tea and coffee will be provided at the working parties and volunteers must be aged over 18. We would encourage you to consider joining the River Stour Trust although this is not a requirement to help at a working party.
