The Nancy Oldfield Trust

The aim of the Nancy Oldfield Trust is to provide the opportunity for people who are disabled or disadvantaged to enjoy a day out on the water, try new activities, improve their self confidence and increase their environmental awareness.

Anyone who is disadvantaged, or has a disability; physical or emotional, temporary or permanent, regardless of their age can enjoy sailing, canoeing, pedal boating, paddleboarding, wildlife watching and motor boat cruises. You are very welcome to bring family members and carers with you!

We are entirely funded through donations, charitable trusts, grants and bequests. The actual cost of providing and an activity session  is £34 per person

Our registered Charity Number is 1068549.
