We offer fantastic experiences for the disabled and seriously ill, for children, adults and families who are living with disabilities. Holidays and day trips on our three disability adapted boats provide everyone with a unique experience of peace and tranquility.
As the boats move gently along the still waters of our canals you experience a new world, separate from the noise and bustle of to-day. We have been serving the needs of the disabled for 35 years so we know the benefits that these holidays and trips provide.

It was just wonderful.”A very pleased and excited Phil, a volunteer with the trust. He waited for the other boat to come back to tell this good news.
