A year on the River Lee in 2011 with MV Challenge

As we prepare challenge for the 2012 season, we'd like to remind all our supporters of the fantstic year we had during 2011.

Over the year nearly 1,000 passengers with special needs enjoyed a day trip or holiday on our community boat.

The volunteer team excelled themselves and provided over 2,500 hours of their valuable time to assist with day trips, holidays and refurbishment.

This short film depicts our year on the river during 2011.

Operation Longboat 2011 Phases 2.5 & 3

During 2011 the volunteers of Docklands Canal Boat Trust continued with their three year refurbishment programme - Operation Longboat. During the autumn we secured a grant from the East London Community Foundation and were able to strip out the old galley and build a fabulous new one.

This short film shows some of the work we have undertaken to modernise our fantastic community riverboat.
