Thanks to the support of Guildford Philanthropy, people of all ages and abilities can benefit from our beautiful waterways through the wellbeing trips and activities delivered from Surrey Care Trust’s two Swingbridge Boats.
The award-winning volunteer crews of Swingbridge Tranquility welcome community groups and charities, offering vulnerable and isolated people, individuals, and families opportunities to take part in accessible, confidence boosting skills courses or therapeutic trips, regardless of mobility or other needs.
Others can get involved with Swingbridge Endeavour’s environmental conservation projects along the Rivers Wey and Thames. Carried out throughout the year, volunteers, including people who might need support because of problems like poor mental health, addiction, or relationship breakdown, work to improve our waterways. In return, they gain new skills, camaraderie and the joy of contributing to their environment and community.
“Your brain is so busy when you’re working you don’t have the time to think about anything else. I enjoy working alongside others, the physical exercise, and the logistics of moving the boat. Most of all, I love the sense of satisfaction I get from seeing the improvements we make”
