Canal trust leads the way for disability access

A charity that helps wheelchair users enjoy a trip on a canal boat is preparing to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The Lyneal Trust, in north Shropshire, uses adapted narrow boats and cottages to offer holidays and day trips and is staffed by 40 volunteers, who welcome people with a range of mobility issues.

Peter Fox, who is one of them, said it had given him the opportunity to "put something back, to help people that wouldn't otherwise be able to do it".

That’s wonderful — 40 years of making waterways accessible is such an achievement. Huge respect to the volunteers who make it possible. If anyone’s looking for ways to make trips even more comfortable and inclusive, captainluxe.com

It’s inspiring to see how the Lyneal Trust has made such a difference for people with mobility challenges over the years. Accessible holidays like this not only open doors to new experiences but also help build confidence and a sense of community. Peter’s words really highlight how rewarding it is to give back through volunteering. Do you know if the Trust is planning any special events for its 40th anniversary celebrations? I recently came across something [here]( visagesculpture.com/non-surgical-nose-job/ ) that reminded me how much thoughtful adaptations can change people’s lives in unexpected ways.
