Fishing for Change
Join us for a FREE adventure on the water in Bristol Harbour this half term, kindly funded by The Grand Appeal.
Climb aboard SeaCycler: a litter picking punt (one of only 6 of its kind in the world) and embark on a litter picking mission to remember!
Monday 28th October 2024
9.30am - 11.45am
What can I expect?
See Bristol from a whole different perspective onboard SeaCycler, a boat made from 99% recycled plastic!
We have space for 18 people and we will split into two groups before combining again to look at our litter treasures.
Onboard activity: spend an hour on the water with SeaCycler skipper Jon, helping to clean up our waterways by litter picking out of the water.
Land activity: Join Jo to explore the litter that we find around the harbour and have a go at some waste activities.
Who is the trip suitable for?
- Patients and/or siblings with at least one parent or carer
- Participants who are able to step down from the mooring on to the boat and step up off the boat at the end of the trip.
- Once on board, seating is bench style
- Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs/walking frames/buggies.
- Suitable for ages 5+ but we do have some smaller lifejackets if required (please include these details in the booking form)
What do I need to bring?
- Appropriate clothing (there isn't a cover on SeaCycler so please prepare for the weather that day)
- A drink
*ALL litter picking kit and equipment will be provided
What else do I need to know?

Who should I contact if I can't make it?
Please contact Jo at Sustainable Hive on 07799096649 as soon as possible if you are no longer able to join us: we have a waiting list and would love to offer the spaces to another family.
