Who are the Lyneal Trust?
The Lyneal Trust is a volunteer-led charity providing narrowboat holidays, day trips, and canalside cottages in beautiful Shropshire for people with disabilities, illness, or other vulnerabilities. The Trust owns and maintains two accessible canal boats, Shropshire Maid and Shropshire Lady, plus the Wharf Cottages.
Our dedicated volunteers help run the charity, welcoming guests, skippering trips, and keeping everything maintained for a comfortable and enjoyable holiday for all.
Make a difference and support the Lyneal Trust
Lyneal Trust depends on the generosity of our community to keep providing life-enriching experiences. You can make a real difference by volunteering, helping guide day trips, or supporting the charity behind the scenes as a trustee.
Donations of any size also play a vital role in maintaining our boats, cottages, and facilities so everyone can continue enjoying their time on the canals.
