For the second year in succession, the Rivertime passenger boat operated at Bisham Abbey , Marlow, for two weeks in July whilst the Henley Royal Regatta took place at our regular base.
The boat was kept busy every day and we welcomed 136 SEND school children from a variety of schools from the Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire areas.

The trips are provided at no cost to the schools by way of generous grants procured by the charity.
From the pictures below and the great feedback that we have received, the children had a fantastic time whilst using our educational materials aboard!
Here is some of the feedback we received from the teachers:
“Absolutely everything is outstanding !
Lucy and her crew went above and beyond in welcoming our special needs pupils, ensuring they had an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. Their warmth and patience shone through, creating an environment where every child felt uniquely valued and celebrated. The team’s dedication to inclusivity and support was evident in every interaction, making the day not only enjoyable but also deeply meaningful for our young students.”

“….they had a truly memorable experience. Their dedication and kindness created an inclusive and supportive environment where every child felt valued and cherished. This thoughtful approach not only made the day enjoyable for our young pupils but also left a lasting positive impact on their hearts and minds.”
Rivertime thanks the management at Bisham Abbey and Sport England for welcoming us on to the site again this year.
