How Your Donations Have Helped

Here are just some of the many ways that some of the various donations that the Baldwin Trust have received have helped us to continue our service to the local communities. 

BOAT REPAIR AND REFURBISHMENT.

Repair & RefurbishmentOur boats are in constant need of maintenance and upkeep.  Halseyon Days was first launched 5 years ago, and this year needed to be taken out of the water for hull inspection, clean and recoat.  This work cost over £2, 500  (which also included the fitment of new sacrificial anodes to protect the hull metalwork), and was made possible by a generous £1, 500 contribution from the Hedley Foundation.  Inspection complete and paintwork finished, Halseyon Days is back on the water, ready for many more years of service.

NEW EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

Bow TV CameraA one-off donation of £800 has paid for the installation of a bow camera system on Halseyon Days. This system will give visitors who are unable to leave the cabin a chance to watch the beautiful scenery passing us by on the inboard monitor. Other uses are being developed for the system.

VOLUNTEER UNIFORMS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Safety VestsA donation of £1000 has allowed the Trust to buy buoyancy aids for our passengers. The safety of our passengers, particularly our younger visitors, is of paramount importance; donations enabling us to keep buoyancy aids on board means no one misses out on all the fun of a trip with us. This donation also enabled us to buy uniforms for our crew. These make our volunteers easily identifiable and help to keep them warm during the colder weather.

ON-BOARD KITCHEN EQUIPMENT

Tea Urn BoilerA donation of £75 enabled the Trust to buy a new water heater for Dandelion allowing our visitors to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while on their trips.

Thank you to all those who make a donation, however large or small, to the Trust; each donation contributes towards the realisation of our mission statement
