It’s World Mental Health Day 💚

There’s no better time to celebrate the calm and connection that comes from getting out on the water aboard our Wheelyboat Poppy. 🌊🐟

Fresh air, open water, and nature all around , it’s amazing what a simple trip can do for your wellbeing.

💬 100% of this year’s passengers said they felt less stressed after their trip!

Being on the water isn’t just an adventure it’s therapy. 🌿💙

We recently had the pleasure of taking Mark, his Mum and his Carer on a beautiful late summer's evening trip on Poppy. We were so grateful to receive this lovely feedback, which absolutely made our day:

'We all had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The entire team were brilliant and couldn't have made us feel more welcome or gone any further for us.'

These are the moments we live for! It's an honour to share these special evenings with wonderful people. Thank you for your kind words!"

We were delighted to welcome members of the Eastern Blue Stars, the only competitive women’s league wheelchair basketball team in East Anglia, aboard the North Norfolk Wheelyboat Poppy recently.

The team enjoyed an evening exploring the Norfolk waterways and shared their feedback:
"We enjoyed a fantastic evening on the boat, Poppy. The volunteers made sure we were safe and enjoyed ourselves. Booking was months in advance, as it’s so booked up, but it was worth the wait. Highly recommended for anyone using a wheelchair to see the Norfolk waterways."

A huge thank you to the team for joining us – it was our pleasure to have you on board, and we hope to see you again soon!
