Canal Clean Ups

Help to give Regent’s canal a well-deserved clean-up. All equipment will be provided for you, just make sure to wear sturdy shoes!

Volunteers at the December canal clean up

Take some time out of your day to help clean the canal alongside the university and help to conserve the wildlife that live in our waterways.

Every month we run canal clean ups along the Regent's Canal towpath next to the Mile End Campus. 

15 student volunteers took part in our December Clean up managing to collect eight bags of garbage!

The clean-ups take place every 4th Thursday of the month over lunchtime from 12-1:30pm.

Clean-ups from now to Easter will take place on;

Thursday 23rd January

Thursday 27th February

Thursday 26th March

Thursday 23rd April

Sign-up for students is available on the volunteering pages and staff should email our sustainability coordinator Tom on t.stockton@qmul.ac.uk.
