Nancy Oldfield Trust

The Nancy Oldfield Trust provides accessible sailing, motor boating, canoeing and pedal launch activities for disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages and backgrounds.

Based within the beautiful Norfolk Broads, we offer fully accessible boating, water-based activities and accommodation. 

Come and visit us for a full or half day activity session. We offer fully accessible motor cruiser trips, sailing, rafted canoeing, pedal launch experiences and paddle-boarding. All activities are led by our experienced team of instructors/motorboat drivers. We can provide specialist equipment and hoists to aid access and provide comfort. The suggested donation for a half-day session is £20 per person visitor and a full day session is £40 per visitor, carers go free. 

Throughout the year we offer communal sessions, such as our Friendly Friday and Themed Cruiser motor cruiser trips and evening canoeing and sailing sessions. Please see our website (News & Events page) for details. 

Why not lengthen your visit and stay with us? Our on-site wheelchair friendly accommodation at Neatishead sleeps up to 10 people and can be booked for a weekend (Friday to Monday) or midweek break (Monday to Friday). From 28th March to 31st October 2025 the cost of the stay includes the following: 
1 half day activity per person for breaks booked from Friday to Monday and 2 half day activities per person for breaks (subject to availability). 

If you wish to stay in accessible accommodation and explore further afield our three bedroomed sister property, Berwick Cottage in East Harling, is available for Thursday-to-Thursday breaks. Guests can enjoy a half day motor cruiser trip with us during their stay, included in the price (subject to availability).
