Who are we?

• We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) - a group of volunteers aiming to make boating accessible to all on the Cotswold Canals.
  
• We are a registered charity (no. 1198949).
  
• We have small group of Trustees, and a broader base of supporters.

What do we do?

• We offer an opportunity for people who may have mobility, mental health or learning disability issues, for the elderly and the disadvantaged to get out close to the water and participate in the fun. Families, children and young people are all welcome.
  
• Our volunteers include canoeists and boaters with a variety of backgrounds as members of the Inland Waterways Association, the Canal and River Trust, the Cotswold Canals Trust, the Cotswolds Canal Cruising Club and many other waterways interests.
  
• We also have experience of disability issues and want to create an opportunity for all to participate in water based activities on our newly restored canal. We aim to meet all individual requirements. Please contact us.
  

Where are we based and when do we go out?

We are based on the Stroudwater Canal at Harper's Field near the new auction rooms.  From Horse Trough Roundabout in Stonehouse take the Ebley Road (signposted Ryeford, Ebley and Council Offices).  We are the second entrance on the right and we usually have a flag out to mark the gate. (See map below for location, or search for Cotswold Boatmobility on Google maps.)

Parking is available, including disabled parking.  We ask people arriving by car or minibus to park carefully and respect the needs of the local residents.

We go out as advertised on our Facebook page, or by arrangement with individuals or groups, mainly on Mondays and Wednesdays but anytime to suit including weekends and evenings in summer. We go out all year round in all weathers - please come dressed appropriately.
