Our History


Tilly’s maiden voyage in August 2022 provided residents from a local care home with a memorable experience as they navigated through locks and explored the canals. This outing not only offered a unique and enjoyable activity for the residents but also highlighted the therapeutic and recreational benefits of being out on the water. This trip brought fun and a sense of adventure in a safe space for the residents creating lasting memories and fostering a sense of community and connection among them.
