The Baldwin Trust has been serving the community of Leicestershire for over 40 years. This is only made possible thanks to the amazing generosity of donations from the public, organisations, trusts, and corporations who support our work.

We aim to keep our trips affordable for all; the small charge we make goes some way to keeping us afloat. However, we still need additional funds to maintain and run the boat fleet, provide safety equipment and uniforms for our volunteers, and to subsidise trips for community groups who may not otherwise be able to afford them.

Thank you for considering donating to the Trust – your generosity really does make a massive difference.

Over the years, we have been able to provide supported trips giving hundreds of local people the chance to benefit from much needed therapeutic time on the water. We remove barriers to experiencing Leicestershire’s beautiful natural waterways by reducing costs, providing wheelchair access, and supporting with transport to our moorings as needed.

Our boat Dandelion is over 40 years old; donations received keep her on the water and have allowed us to adapt and improve the facilities on board to accommodate guests with mobility issues.

We are hugely grateful for all the donations we receive.

Every donation however large or small helps to support our work.
