Bruce Trust
The Bruce Trust is a registered charity which provides purpose-built, wide-beam canal boats on the Kennet and Avon Canal, for hire for self-catering holidays by disabled, disadvantaged or elderly people and their carers.
The Trust has a fleet of four boats, each one with the highest quality accommodation and the ultimate flexibility for people with a wide variety of special needs. The extra width of the boats provides excellent manoeuvrability for wheelchair users. The boats have special built-in facilities, including hydraulic lifts, wide-access boarding ramps, low-level bunks, heating and specially fitted showers, toilets, etc.
Rebecca, Hannah and Diana have been designed by us to allow wheelchair users the opportunity to steer the boat using the tiller and both Hannah and Rachel have been fitted with a remote steering device that enables someone with less upper body mobility to steer from their wheelchair, using a joystick.
