Swansea Community Boat Trust
The Project in a Nutshell:
The Swansea Community Boat Trust aims to update key equipment on “Copper Jack,” a community boat that has provided accessible outdoor experiences for ten years.
Why This Matters:
“Copper Jack” serves individuals of all ages with limited mobility, providing a unique opportunity to enjoy Swansea’s River Tawe. The boat is equipped with an access platform lift, central heating, and a disabled washroom, making it accessible for school children, senior citizen groups, and community members with special needs. By fostering connections among diverse community members, raising awareness of local biodiversity and heritage, and ensuring inclusive access to outdoor activities, “Copper Jack” enhances community well-being and environmental appreciation. The ongoing updates will ensure the continued success and safety of this vital community resource, promoting social inclusion and environmental engagement in Swansea Bay.
