About this event

The Disabled Boater Forum is an opportunity for you to meet and talk to national and regional Trust staff. You can ask questions, share your views and experiences, and tell us where you think accessibility can be improved.

The meeting will be held online via Teams. You'll receive the Teams link as soon as you book a place, and you will also get a reminder email with the link a day before the event.

You can submit questions and comments in advance to dan.noakes@canalrivertrust.org.uk

We are happy to provide a British Sign Language interpreter. Please let us know when you book your place through Eventbrite if you need one.

We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because we believe that life is better by water.

Our research shows that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really can make us feel happier and healthier.

With ever increasing rates of obesity, stress and declining mental health in the UK, we are uniquely placed to make a significant contribution to improving the wellbeing of millions of people. Our canals and rivers run through some of the most heavily populated communities in England and Wales, providing accessible green and blue space where it’s needed the most.

That’s why, here at the Trust, we're working with volunteers and communities across England and Wales to transform canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. We know this will bring wellbeing opportunities to millions.

Our work involves not only looking after our waterways, but promoting them widely to the eight million plus people who have waterways on their doorstep so that many more people benefit from our free, accessible and local source of wellbeing.

We have a range of events which you will be able to take part in around your local waterways.
