A major focus for Safe Anchor Trust is to support organisations that require social and recreational activities to maintain or improve the health of their users. Safe Anchor relies solely on voluntary contributions and donations for our service, for which it is extremely grateful. We are proud that all our work is underpinned by voluntary effort, and every penny contributed goes directly to support the service we provide. We operate four cruise boats, two are narrow boats, The Lady Rhodes and Lady Victoria and two wide beam boats, Safe Anchor Lady and E Austen Johnson. The boats are fully equipped and have facilities for the less able. All our boats are skippered by qualified skippers, all of whom have undergone Disclosure & Barring Service checks.
