The Friends help the museum at Gloucester Docks through volunteer work and fundraising events. All members are entitled to free admission to the National Waterways Museum and receive a quarterly newsletter. Lectures and social events are held throughout the year, providing an opportunity to meet fellow Friends.

• Acting as a steward at special museum events

• Operating working exhibits such as the steam dredger or the motor tug
• Demonstrating waterways-related crafts such as traditional painting or lacework
• Attending local shows to publicise the museum and the Friends

The annual subscription to the FNWM Gloucester Docks is £9 for an individual or £15 for a family.
