Volunteer Training Centre at Rutland Water Nature Reserve
Volunteer Training Centre
Volunteer Training Centre
Since 2015, Rutland Water has been able to offer a little something extra to our volunteers, groups and partners, through our state-of-the-art Volunteer Training Centre. Thanks to the generosity of the Heritage Lottery Fund, Anglian Water and many other amazing donors, we are able to support and train volunteers in conservation, countryside and heritage skills. The £1.1m Volunteer Training Centre serves as the hub of an active, supportive community in which volunteers of all ages and backgrounds can reach their full potential for both wildlife and people. We deliver a variety of learning and volunteering activities, all designed to make a real difference to our natural heritage and promote skill sharing between people from all walks of life.
The Volunteer Training Centre is located on the shoreline of Rutland Water Nature Reserve, an internationally recognised Site of Special Scientific interest (SSSI), Special Protection Area (SPA) and a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.

Training Room
Rutland Water volunteer centre was a fantastic centrally located venue for our team training day. The centre facilities are excellent and the location within the reserve meant I could include a much needed outdoor element to the day. To top it off the sun was shining!Forestry Commission
