Accessible Waterways Association company profile

The Accessible Waterways Association (AWA) wants all waterways users to have a voice and influence to effect change for better. We will continually strive to work in partnership with the various waterways authorities and other relevant agencies to achieve this. We also want to enable our members to connect with and support one another. Our aim is to raise awareness of the fact that there are people aboard boats with a variety of accessibility needs on our inland waterways. There are actually more people living on boats who identify as having a disability than the national average! The Accessible Waterways Association also wants to break down barriers, and influence public attitudes and behaviours toward and around disabled people.
