Every pound raised is vital to ensure we can welcome as many disabled or disadvantaged people onboard as possible, with their families, friends and carers, providing life-changing experiences. Central to our experience is active participation – helping to broaden aspirations, increase confidence and directly impact on health and wellbeing. A Wetwheels experience challenges self-perceptions, extends horizons and opens up new opportunities. We ensure full wheelchair access to the boat – including a ramp to the steering position and adapted steering controls.

All are active participants, rather than simply passengers, with the opportunity to steer the vessel and learn seamanship alongside peers, friends and families.

With your kind donation, we can reach even more people and make sure that cost is not a barrier to enjoying a day on the water. For some, even the cost involved in getting to Edinburgh can make this experience seem like something out of their reach and we’d like to be able to support those groups and families.
