The Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) charity has recently made some major renovations to its wheelchair accessible canal boat the QEF Jubilee. It has been upgraded to further enhance its access for people with disabilities and people with very restricted mobility can drive this canal boat. There are ramps for getting on and off board and lifts into the main inside section.
Facilities include a medical bed, a fully accessible bathroom with a level shower, hoist tracking on the ceilings throughout and charging facilities for powered wheelchairs. The controls are adaptable and can be customised, so that either a wheel, joystick or buttons can be used. For more information Tel. 01372 841148 visit vasd.org.uk/holidays/canalboat-holidays/
Different conditions, different backgrounds and different experiences.
