The trust was originally formed to help the patients of
the Baldwin Ward at Leicester Frith Hospital by the provision of a narrow
boat for day outings or longer holidays. This aim is now extended to
include elderly, infirm and other needy groups of people, some in care
homes to whom a day spent in the
tranquil canal side environment are especially beneficial. The Trust is a charitable organization
staffed by volunteers who offer waterway outings on the Soar navigation
for community groups within Leicestershire. The outings offered
are generally from 3 hour to 7 hour duration, however we can offer
longer outings by prior arrangement.
