“Stort class had a wonderful CanalAbility experience. The students enjoyed a great day out on the River Stort with their friends. Students got to experience steering the boat and moving through the locks.”

It was something we could truly share as a family which is not always easy when you have a disability. It’s been a really lovely day and everything we hoped for. We’ve enjoyed everything about it especially slow pace, being in nature. Lifts were also great for full participation.
The crew asked what other days had we had as a family this year. We realised that, aside from our week family holiday, we hadn’t had a day out all year because nowhere has the accessibility requirement.
I was made very welcome by all the staff & volunteers I met today, looking forward to my next visit.
Great crew! Lovely day….would recommend!
Very friendly and caring staff, They were really good with our guys with a learning disability, very helpful.

A huge thank you to the 6 volunteers
We had a fantastic weekend recently. With my parents (Dad 90 and Mum 86) it was magical and they loved it so much. We were able to take Mum’s fold up mobility scooter on board. Weather was great and we had time as a family to chill and chat in the evenings without the distraction of a TV. It’s an amazing charity and great volunteers.”
Hi just to say we spent a fabulous Father’s Day with these guys the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, the facilities are great. These guys are doing a grand job and I recommend this to anyone who through a disability wouldn’t normally be able to have a trip on the canal. Splendid work people we are much appreciative and we will be back!
The crew were stars, amazing, cannot thank them enough. Nicest group ever. Thank you.
We have had many trips and we always have a great time and are well looked after by the crew!
What a great day!! Thank you to the 3 members of staff we had today… Even under pressure they made our day! Would recommend to all x
