To assist people in wheelchairs or with limited mobility, aboard, the boat has a ramp from the towpath onto the boat and a hydraulic lift down into the boat. The toilet and washing facilities are designed for disabled people. Windows are large and set low to provide a good, clear view of the canal.
For Half or Full Day Trips, Lady Winifred can take up to 12 people (including helpers). The ratio of helpers to disabled people is determined by those making the booking. A maximum of three people in wheelchairs. Unfortunately we are not able to take dogs unless there are exceptional circumstances. Please contact us with specific requests.
The Trust relies on donations to run the charity. We suggest if it is possible for a donation of £150.00 per day trip for up to 12 people. However, if you feel that you are able to donate more, we would be very grateful.
Bookings can be made for disabled people of any age. The boat can be booked by groups (schools, clubs, homes, etc.), by families who have a disabled member, or by individuals. Wherever possible bookings will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
