Waterways Experiences

Waterways Experiences enabling others to experience our beautiful waterways

Waterways Experiences is an award-winning, volunteer-run charity, operating three canal boats from a beautifully landscaped boat base on the Grand Union Canal, near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. We promote well-being benefits to the community, by providing affordable canal boat trips for all. We enable everyone, including the disadvantaged, the elderly, individudals with physical or learning disabilities along with youth groups to experience the fun and the beauty of our waterways.

As a charity with no paid staff, some 150 volunteers deliver the full spectrum of functions, keeping running costs low and resulting in a lean, cost effective organisation. Our main outgoings are maintenance and general running costs for our three boats, along with other sundry costs.

As volunteers, what makes us tick is the satisfaction of being able to share our passion for the waterways and canal boating with people normally excluded from this pastime. The commitment and dedication shown by our volunteers is what makes us special.

We rely on donations to help fund our activities.
