Readying the Thames Venturer

Ensure that the boat is ready for school groups after half term. Without the tank being topped up there's a risk we may not be able to deliver the education days.

Who this task will support
The River Thames Boat Project
RTBP uses 2 wheelchair-accessible boats to improve access to the Thames. 1 boat (Thames Discoverer) is used for therapeutic cruises whilst our 2nd boat (Thames Venturer) is used as a floating classroom for primary school children to learn about the river and the natural environment.

Ahoy there! During half term, the Thames Venturer will require a deep clean internally and externally. The freshwater tank will also need topping up which will be done with a relay of camping barrels that are filled on Teddington Lock island.

So if you like mucking about on boats then this is the task for you. Sign up if you can.

We will meet at The Quaker Centre at 6.30pm for a 3km run to Trowlock Way, Teddington, TW11 9QY to meet the boat. If you are meeting us at the task then please come for 7pm.
