Activities  (Additional information provided by charity)Additional information provided by charity

Our core activities are: kayaking, canoeing and bell-boating on the cana and further afield; narrowboat trips on the Regents Canal and a hall that we hire out for community and charitable use.
We have a long history of offering these activities to the community and have taken advantage of the opening of our extended, renovated and fully accessible Pirate Castle to encourage even greater participation in these activities, particuarly by groups who previously had limited access to the canal due to disability.
We make a modest charge for charitable and community use of our facilities but are reliant on the generosity of our supporters to enable us to do the work that we do.
