Telford Sailability provides sailing for anyone with care needs.

We sail on Mondays and Fridays

Our volunteers help out when they can, either part or all of the day. Normally posts go out a few days earlier on either our messenger page or by text, start and finish times. Our volunteers then say if they can help.

You don’t need to know how to sail as we can teach you. You don’t even need to go on the water if you don’t want to. If you don’t want to, or cannot come to the lake there are other tasks that need doing.
