A CHARITY in Wallingford to help disabled boat users has a new promotional video to help advertise.

The Wallingford Accessible Boat Club (WABC), with its Wheelyboat WOW-one, has launched a new video that promises to add even further interest to the work of the charity.

The video illustrates the operation of the charity on the Upper Thames and one that makes a ‘real difference to the quality of life of disabled people’ in and around South Oxfordshire.

It is available to view on the front page of the WABC website and includes interviews with trustees and volunteer crew members which describe the objectives of the charity as well as highlighting the unique features of the Wheelyboat, WOW-one, and the access for disabled people they enable. 

The passenger interviews included underline the ‘pleasure and enjoyment’ that the opportunity of a small boat trip can bring.

John Jenkins MBE, chair of trustees at WABC, said: “I am really excited by this video. It gives me great pleasure to watch it as, for me, it engenders the peace and tranquillity of the river and gives a great taster of what a boat trip on WOW-one is like.
