Today we had a fabulous volunteer family fun day with all the boats out. Thank you to the volunteers who gave their time up on a Sunday for a lovely day on the wheelyboat, Bellboats & the Neo sailing boat.

If you would like to volunteer please come next Sunday 21st June between 10.30am & 4pm at Bisham Abbey Sailing & Navigation School.

Thanks for volunteering Greg

Enjoyed volunteering with Accessible Boating Thames this morning when we had some students from Manor Green School in Maidenhead. We had three young wheelchair users with carers on the wheelyboat and another four students with carers and crew in the bell boat (foreground).

The river has a wonderful calming effect and a novel change of environment for the students. The staff seem to enjoy being on the water as well. The rain cleared for us at Bisham Abbey where the Sailing School provide us with all their facilities. Partnership in action.

Great to see Peter recognised for all he does, Accessible Boating Thames would not exist without his help.
