We are a small but effective national charity dedicated to providing disabled people with hassle-free and independent access to waterborne activities.

We are a small national charity dedicated to providing disabled people of all ages with hassle-free and independent access to waterborne activities in our wheelchair accessible Wheelyboats. Our principal role is to help and encourage venues that are open to the public acquire Wheelyboats for the benefit of their disabled visitors and to help groups and organisations acquire Wheelyboats for their own use.

A new V2O Wheelyboat has been delivered to Castle Semple Country Park in Clyde Muirshiel, Scotland's largest Regional Park to join their busy fleet which already includes their original V20. Thank you to the funders and supporters who made the project happen, so that all users can access water-based activities regardless of disability.

‘Grace’ takes to the water in Dun Laoghaire harbour, Republic of Ireland, the first fully electric powered V20 Wheelyboat. Skippered by Jenny, herself a wheelchair user, who can fully access the boat and helm completely single handed and with others. An exciting and groundbreaking partnership to be part of.
