What’s been your favourite CanalAbility moment?

A funny crew story?
A beautiful day on the water?
A passenger smile you’ll never forget?

Thank you for everything you bring to our charity, our boats and our community.

A volunteer’s time can mean so much more than a few hours.

🌳It can mean someone getting out of the house after weeks of isolation.

☕It can mean laughter shared over tea onboard.

📸It can mean a family making memories together.

👫 It can mean confidence rebuilt, friendships formed, or simply a peaceful few hours on the water.

The ripple effect of volunteering reaches further than you might ever realise.

During Volunteers’ Week, we want to say thank you to the amazing people who help make those moments happen.

This is Volunteers' Week, and we’re celebrating the incredible people who make CanalAbility possible.

Our volunteers give their time, skills, kindness, patience, humour and energy to help create accessible canal experiences that make a real difference.

From skippers and crew to behind-the-scenes helpers, fundraisers, maintenance teams and supporters — every contribution matters.

You don’t just help run a charity. You help create smiles, confidence, connection, adventures and lasting memories.

Thank you for everything you do. We couldn’t do it without you.

Share a moment from your week ☀️

It’s been very sunny lately, and we hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy a little time outdoors or simply notice something nice around you.

If you’d like to share, we’d love to see a photo from your week — it could be a walk, a view, nature, your garden, wildlife, or anything that caught your eye.

If you feel like it, you can pop a photo in the comments below.
Even a small moment is lovely to see — it might inspire someone else too.

No pressure — only share if you’d like to, we’d love to see a little glimpse of your world.

And it's fantastic to welcome back the crew from Badgers Den too — showing off their expert steering skills once again! ⭐

Great company, plenty of smiles, and another accessible day on the water!

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

At CanalAbility, accessibility is at the heart of everything we do — but it can mean different things to different people.

We’re curious 👇

What does an inclusive day out mean to you?

Maybe it’s:
💙 Feeling welcome
💙 Being able to join in without barriers
💙 Spending quality time with family or friends
💙 Simply having space to relax

We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
