Swingbridge
The Surrey Care Trust owns and operates two Swingbridge community boats.
Local waterways are a wonderful place for people to learn skills and gain confidence and self-motivation.
Crewing a boat is a new and challenging experience which enthuses people and engages their interest.
One of the activities that is part of the Swingbridge programme is environmental work along Surrey waterways, which gives people an opportunity to make a valuable contribution to the community and learning skills.
Among those who benefit from training courses and volunteering with Swingbridge are young people, especially those on the Surrey Care Trust’s STEPS programmes, long-term unemployed, people who are underskilled and poorly-qualified, those with mild learning difficulties, and people recovering from ill health.
In the spring and summer, one of the Swingbridge boats is available for community groups to enjoy trips along the River Wey.
