Boater welfare & accessibility

Our welfare team is here to support you with boating on our waterways in a variety of ways

Waterways chaplains help boaters with life's challenges, regardless of religion, race, orientation or socio-economic status

Boating can be a great lifestyle, but it can get tough at times. Here’s how we’re putting boaters in touch with people who can help

We can make reasonable adjustments’ to our normal cruising regulations for disabled boaters and people with protected characteristics

Boating with a physical or mental impairment can present a whole set of different challenges, such as accessibility and boat handling

If you know in advance that you'll need help, our volunteer lock keeper team can try to have someone on duty to assist
