WIRRAL COMMUNITY NARROWBOAT TRUST
We seek to improve the quality of life of those who by virtue of age, disability or social factors are disadvantaged or deprived. We do so by providing day trips and short residential breaks on our fully adapted canal boats, crewed by our experienced and fully qualified volunteers.
