Client Reviews
Each year the Baldwin Trust takes thousands of people, representing different backgrounds, age groups, ethnicities, and groupings on the waterways of Leicestershire and we’re proud of the many fantastic reviews that we receive. Our groups are many and varied including families, care and residential homes, working groups as well as those from different social interest and community groups; here are just a few of the many reviews we have received.
Lovely few hours on the boat with our residents from Hadrian House. The Skipper and crew members were all brilliant.

The tranquillity of the waterways and the gentle pace of the narrowboat journeys created an environment that greatly benefited our patients. These trips offered them a chance to connect with nature, experience a sense of calm, and recall fond memories, which are all incredibly therapeutic for individuals with dementia. For the caregivers, these trips provided a much-needed respite and a joyful shared experience with their loved ones.

Members of Parkinsons Group thoroughly enjoyed their day trip. For most it was their first time experience. They found it a very therapeutic, relaxing and fun filled day. The volunteers of the boating company were very kind, helpful and accommodating. A few members were so excited to be able to have a go with steering and helping with lock gates. Thank you.

This was an amazing opportunity for escapism and therapeutic art for our service users; the price is fair, the staff are very accommodating and there wasn’t a moment where nobody wasn't smiling.

This was booked as a celebration of my daughter’s birthday. Being wheelchair accessible was amazing for us. The trip was wonderful, staff on board were kind and informative. Really kind to grandson so he could steer the boat and help at locks. It was brilliant. Made lovely memories for our family.
