Read MoreFor GPS trackers
We will now be able to see where our boats are all the time, thanks to the generous donation of 4 GPS trackers and service subscriptions to run them. They have been donated by www.vigitech.uk They have a variety of trackers suitable for boats - please give them your custom if you're in the market for one. The trackers mean that if we have a veteran in need of help on a boat, we will know exactly where it is. Thanks, Vigitech Solutions, for giving us that peace of mind.
Supporter, Ares, from Northern Ireland wanted help do up one of our boats. As we don't have one in Northern Ireland, he's sent us a whole load of DIY goodies. Thanks, Ares!
Thanks a million, to the very generous, Joy. She's donated us a brand new, 15bhp, Tohatsu outboard motor. This is going to be a huge help.
The donators of our 4th boat - Daisy
We were fortunate enough to be visited by narrowboat Vlogger and all-round lovely person, Heidi Manning, The Narrowboat Pirate.
She was with us at a Working Party weekend and produced an amazing Vlogg all about who we are and what we do, which she featured on her YouTube Channel.
