Ways to Support The Rivertime Boat Trust
Businesses - Nominate Rivertime as your Charity of the Year!
The Rivertime Boat Trust is a registered charity number 1113992.
The charity receives some income from hiring ‘Rivertime’ and also relies on 30 volunteers, however, operating, maintaining and developing our boat for people with disabilities and disadvantages is a very costly operation.
We are extremely grateful to all those who donate money, time and expertise to allow Rivertime to operate each season.

Grant Making
Trust Support
The Charity is so grateful to have been supported by a large number of grant giving trusts, individuals, companies and charities since its inception in 2008.
The Rivertime Boat Trust revenue model is based upon a portion of income generated for trips for some adult trips
The remainder and a large section of our activities includes educational river trips for SEND school children – All of these are provided at NO charge by the charity and can only happen by way of generous grants.
Our booking system is able to track each trip to a specific cohort, down to geography if required by the funders
Please contact us if your organisation is able to offer financial help of any kind.
