It began in 1975 when the Prince of Wales' Committee in partnership with The Variety Club of Great Britain, arranged for the apprentices of Cammell Laird to build a 70ft canal boat specially designed to carry disabled children. The Heulwen Trust, formed in 1985, took on this task under the Chairmanship of Claude Millington (he sadly died in 2004) who enthusiastically led a team of volunteers. Our main source of funding is from our annual Country and Western Music Festivals.
