On Monday 29 April, we took four of our residents from Loose Valley Care Home on a boat trip down the river Medway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were lucky to have a dry day and we took our minibus to Wateringbury Marina<\/strong> and boarded our boat, named the Kingfisher<\/em>, which had a specially adapted lift to take wheelchairs easily onto the boat.<\/p>\n

The boat cruised up river towards the locks of Yalding<\/strong> and on to Beltring<\/strong> and we enjoyed cups of tea and coffee throughout the journey.<\/p>\n

We moored alongside a towpath where the horses used to pull the canal boats at Teapot Island in Yalding<\/strong>, and there we tucked into a super picnic on board. We fed the swans at the end of the trip as they all gathered around us. We were delighted to see so many.<\/p>\n

Our lovely volunteers David and Jackie Grant<\/strong> accompanied us for the day. They very kindly drove our minibus and David helped our Recreation & Well Being Champion Paula open and shut the lock we went through. Zoe<\/strong>, our Kitchen Assistant, also gave up her time to help on the day.<\/p>\n

We all had such a great day and loved being out in the fresh air, taking in the scenery as we journeyed along.<\/p>\n

Huge thanks to David, Jackie and Zoe who gave up their time to be there for our residents, we couldn\u2019t have done it without them.<\/p>\n

We already have another boat trip booked for Monday 13th May \u2013 we can\u2019t wait!<\/em><\/p>\n
