We are a small national charity dedicated to providing disabled people of all ages with hassle-free and independent access to waterborne activities in our wheelchair accessible Wheelyboats. Our principal role is to help and encourage venues that are open to the public acquire Wheelyboats for the benefit of their disabled visitors and to help groups and organisations acquire Wheelyboats for their own use.

Volunteer Recruitment Day Sunday June 21st -
10am to 5pm

Accessible Boating Thames (ABT) is a local charity that aims to take people with disabilities onto the River Thames in their accessible boats. For more information on the charity see https://accessibleboatingthames.org

We are looking for volunteers with experience in power boating, sailing or paddling, or in fact no experience at all to come and join us running sessions for families, groups and local SEND school classes. We run regular training and familierisation sessions during the season (April – October)

Because of the range of activities we provide
• Bellboating
• Wheeyboat Trips
• Sailing

We have many volunteering opportunities, both on the water and on shore including Shore support, paddling, sailing and power boating.

During the day we will have all our boats on the water and some volunteers to explain what we do and how we do it.

So if you are interested in volunteering for us and have a few hours to spare to help out with the activities we run for disabled participants and their families / friends please come along and meet us, just follow the signs to Bisham Abbey Sailing and Navigation School once inside the sports centre.

Huge congratulations to the Mariners of Bewl for the launch of their new V20 Wheelyboat. A fantastic group of volunteers achieving great things, so that all people can access the water there regardless of disability. The honours were done today by the local MP, Mayor, Paralympian and founding member Jennie, who the boat is named after.
