Get Involved

Although the project is now complete, there are still opportunities to help out. There are lots of reasons you might be interested in our project and want to get involved. You don't need any previous knowledge or experience.

A history or sporting heritage buff

Rowing and Sporting Heritage

If you would like to get involved in rowing, have a look at our club page for more information. Clydesdale ARC also has a very active 'Friends Of' group and is keen to recruit new members - this involves a wide range of activities to help support the club and its activities, from fundraising to litter picking. You can find out more via their website or by contacting friendsofcarc@clydesdalearc.org.uk

Active groups in sporting heritage include the Hampden Collection, which celebrates football heritage and Glasgow Women's Library, which host the National Museum of Roller Derby.

Self-directed and Micro-Volunteering

Some parts of the project are still running. These are self-directed projects, but also work well as group activities. For instance, if you are part of a walking or photography group, these activities can easily fit into your regular programme. All training resources are available in the links below - If would like to contribute to wildlife monitoring along the river or gathering images of local places and landmarks, all training resources are available on our site and are easy to learn and use.
