Wallingford Accessible Boat Club launches new rides and site

Wallingford Accessible Boat Club (WABC) has unveiled its new website and opened bookings for its 2026 season, offering free two-hour outings for disabled and less mobile passengers.

The improved site, developed by Clean Slate Solutions of Woodcote, highlights the charity’s mission to help disabled and less mobile people experience the River Thames.

John Jenkins MBE, chairman of WABC, said: “This is a very exciting time for our Boat Club – the start of the new season is just about upon us.

“Our volunteer crews are all geared up and keen to go.

“WOW-one, our much-loved wheelyboat, has been fitted out with some new passenger comfort features and now we have a new-look website, which is fantastic.”

Clean Slate Solutions, founded in 2020 by Darren and Michelle King, partnered with the charity after spotting its appeal on social media.

Mr King said: “Having seen WABC’s most recent call to arms on Facebook we just had to offer our help to this amazing charity.

“It’s been an absolute pleasure working with everyone at the charity and we hope that their new website helps WABC go from strength to strength.”

WABC operates a specially designed boat that enables wheelchair users and people with limited mobility to board safely and comfortably.

Passengers are even able to take the helm if they wish, with trips including sightseeing, fishing, or simply relaxing on the water.
