The Ethel Trust

The Trust is a registered charity (Charity Commission number 700389) established in 1988, providing day and residential canal and river experiences for the most disadvantaged groups in South Yorkshire.

Currently with around 40 volunteers and 4 trustees, the Trust has been honoured  by Her Majesty the Queen with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, equivalent to the MBE and the highest award for voluntary work.

The Barges

Our wide beam barges are 57 feet long and are fully accessible. Lifts provide access to all areas of the boats, including for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. There are fully accessible toilets, shower rooms, fully equipped kitchens, and large centrally heated lounge areas with panoramic windows. The barges operate from Victoria Quays in Sheffield, and from Stanilands Marina in Thorne, north of Doncaster.
