We’d like to acknowledge and thank all our supporters to date, including the National Lottery players.
We are delighted to be collaborating with the Canal and River Trust who are providing one of their heritage working boats for this programme. Special thanks to the Heritage Boat Team who have kindly volunteered to steer the boat over the four day journey from Hatton to Coventry.
