SUMMARY:Leading a Waterway Event Training
DESCRIPTION:If you love your local waterways and want to join with other people to make them even better\, sign up for our 2-day accredited training.\nThames21 are committed to enabling communities to care for their local waterway. As part of our project with Land of the Fanns to enhance the River Rom and River Ingrebourne we are providing fully funded training to local residents and other people who are keen to gain the practical skills and confidence to be River Keepers in their own area. \nThis course only takes place at Millennium Centre\, Dagenham\, RM7 0SS on Saturday 11th and Saturday 18th May. \nClick here to register for this fully funded course.\nAttending both Day 1 and Day 2 is required for the accreditation which will enable you to lead events under Thames21’s Public Liability Insurance. \nThere is no obligation to run events once you have taken this course. Many people take it simply for the learning experience. But others do go on to lead their own events with our support. Our trainees have been involved in some exciting projects over the years! \nLeading a Clean Up is much more than picking up litter. \nOn Day 1 – Saturday 11th May \nyou will build the knowledge\, confidence and skills to lead safe\, effective and fun waterway improvement events. You will learn to look out for what tasks a group of volunteers can do which will really make a difference. \nBy the end of Day 1\, you will be able to plan your own event and show that you can select an appropriate site\, spot hazards\, ensure health and safety\, organise tasks and equipment and publicise your event. \nOn Day 2 – Saturday 18th May \nwe will look at leadership responsibilities and focus on how to deliver a welcome/health and safety briefing. We will also cover promoting your event and talk about how to motivate individuals to come together and achieve common goals as a group. \nBy the end of Day 2\, you will understand what it takes to support and lead a clean-up event.   \nThe course involves both in-class and outdoors\, site-specific learning. \nYou will be provided with a workbook and other materials that will support your learning. \nPlease contact Poppy on poppy.flint@thames21.org.uk or follow this link for more information about the course. \nPlease note places are limited and allocated on a first come\, first served basis.
