Help Us Bring “Wellness-on-Water” to Life
We’re fundraising for specialist canoes and safety equipment to help more people access the water — especially those who can’t always join us for a walk.
At Wellness Walks, we know that time in nature can transform lives. But not everyone can manage a trail or a hillside. Wellness-on-Water opens the same sense of connection and wellbeing to people with mobility restrictions or health conditions — giving them the chance to be active, social and part of something bigger.
As one participant said:
Adventurous, brave, a participant rather than a bystander. Part of something safe. Free from intruding thoughts … you can’t learn to canoe and think of problems. Working with others as a team made it even better."
That’s what this project is about — belonging, confidence, and joy.
Why It Matters
Water sports are often out of reach for many people — either physically or financially. The cost of equipment and instruction can be prohibitive, and accessible options are rare.
Your support will help us remove those barriers. By purchasing specialist crafts and adaptive safety gear, we’ll make it possible for people to take part safely and comfortably, with trained volunteers on hand to support every step of the way.
Together, we’ll create sessions that are:
Accessible – designed for people with limited mobility or who’ve never tried water-based activities before.
Inclusive – free to join, friendly and fully supported.
Health-positive – improving mental, physical and social wellbeing in one shared experience.
Your Donation Makes a Difference
Every contribution helps us turn “Wellness-on-Water” from an occasional event into a regular part of what we do.
It helps someone who thought they couldn’t, to discover that they can — safely, proudly, and with others by their side.
Please donate today and help more people swap the shore for the water — because everyone deserves the chance to move, to belong, and to feel the simple joy of being part of something good.
