For DofE volunteering we can only currently take young people aged 16 years and over

Foxton Locks is a beautiful site in Market Harborough. Experience colourful boats, count the locks at the long Lock Flight, take a boat trip, or just relax at the café or picnic spots. The site also has a museum called The Boiler House.

These range from practical tasks such as:

• Preparing and painting a lock,
• Patching tarmac and bridge maintenance
