Disabled and Additional Needs
At All-Aboard, we passionately believe that watersports is for everyone, no matter what challenges they face.
Specialist support
Our specialist boats and equipment, together with our enthusiastic and well trained staff and volunteers, mean that we can get everyone out on the water in Bristol harbour; sailing, paddling or powerboating.
Our vision is for integrated watersports, whereby people with additional needs are supported in mainstream sessions. However, we recognise that this is not always possible or desirable, so we also run dedicated sessions for people who need extra support.
Dedicated sessions
On Tuesday and Saturday mornings, we run dedicated sessions to get those with more significant support needs on the water. These sessions are open to anyone with any form of disability or additional support need, as well as their friends, family and carers.
