Peter Le Marchant Trust

Peter Le Marchant Trust is a registered charity based in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, offering inclusive and accessible canal boat experiences across the scenic waterways of Leicestershire. Founded in 1976, the trust is dedicated to supporting people living with disabilities, life-limiting conditions and mental health challenges by creating safe, welcoming spaces to relax, connect and enjoy time in nature.

The work is powered by a small staff team and over 100 incredible volunteers, from skippers and crew to gardeners and fundraising champions. Together, they provide trips seven days a week during the boating season, maintaining our accessible fleet and ensuring every journey is smooth, safe and full of care.
