lacilities by reason of their youth, age, inlimiity or disability. linancial hardship or social circumslan¢as
th the object ol improving their ￿nditionS ol lite.
Th8 Charity do&s this by organising boating and other activities on the canal on ils ol boats which
currently consist of tsyo mot0ri5ed boals capable ol carrying wheèlchairs and several Katakanus,
being siabilised six parson cano& ty￿ t¥)ats.

In considering how the Trust lullils ils aims and objectives thè Trustees havè had regards lo the
Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The descriptions of the Trust's charitable activities
and plan5 in the remainder ol this report are drafted wlh this guidance in mind. The services and
support which the Trust provides are available to a wide range ol b8neliciaries.
Achltvèmènts ind ￿rforManC*
As Cotswold Boatmobilily op8rates a service lor ils beneliciaries which is entirely outdoors we were
able. wilh the approval ol the Dislrcil Council's Covid olficers. to continue to provide boating activities

The charity provided around 5,000 guesl trips in 2022. Those beneficiaries included the learning
disabled clients ol a number ol supported care providers as well as residents ol several care homes
lor the elderly. For many the activity on the canal in one ol the boats is an essential activity lo
socialise outside their residential environment. The charity is one ol the lew in the locality which can
provide these opportunities lor wheelchair users.
Plans for luture porlods
In April 2023 the charity took delivery ol a new trrt)at, Symphony, which wll enable several wheelchair
users and others to take trips on the canal. The chartly has also got agreement lo move ils base to a
more accessible location in Stonehouse wth a PUryKJse built landing stage and toilet and other
facilities appropriatè lor ouc cli&nt group.
The operation is currently restricted to two days a week mainly because ol the lack ol volunteers.
The trustees aim to recruit and train athjits'onal volunteers which wll enable operation on additional
days. The trustees plan to invest in systems, including an improved website, to enable the volLJnleer
