As we wrap up our final post of volunteer week, we want to share a heartwarming moment from Monday, when individuals from our Clevedon services enjoyed a delightful day on the waterways, all thanks to The Willow Trust.

The Willow Trust are dedicated to providing a unique opportunity for individuals of all ages living with disabilities or serious illnesses to enjoy a therapeutic day out on the water.

Thanks to the generosity of donations and the unwavering commitment of their dedicated volunteers, they are able to make this dream a reality.

Each year, they welcome up to 7,000 children and adults aboard our two fully wheelchair-accessible broad-beamed boats, the Spirit of Freedom II and Leonard Matchan, as they navigate the beautiful Gloucester-Sharpness Canal. These specially designed vessels offer a day of freedom and joy that many never thought possible.

Liam's Story:

Liam has been working at Changing Lives Charity in Clevedon with his support worker, Rowena Ayers, since 2020. The charity raising money for individuals going through challenges in their lives.

Liam became involved in a furniture upcycle project, where he has been a dedicated volunteer. He works every Tuesday, demonstrating skills such as sanding furniture and applying paint, and has even developed artistic talents by painting animal designs on children's furniture. His confidence has grown significantly, and he has formed positive relationships with colleagues.

Liam's upcycled creations have sold for more than £3,000, and his work has garnered attention, leading to commissions from customers. The project has expanded to include HMP Horfield Prison, where inmates upcycle furniture as part of their rehabilitation.
