Thanks to the incredible support of our volunteers, fundraisers, donors, and National Lottery players — whose contributions made a substantial grant from The National Lottery Community Fund possible — along with sponsorship from Xylem and support from HFW, the dream of a fully accessible electric canal boat, based in Hertfordshire and Essex is becoming a reality!
Follow our journey as we design, build, and launch CanalAbility’s new accessible electric canal boat.
We’re constantly adding new photos of the build— stay tuned!
