A charity connecting young people and the community with Liverpool’s historic waterways.
Our Charity
The Pride of Sefton is a wide beam community canal boat on Liverpool’s historic waterfront, operated by local charity The Florrie. Transformed into a floating classroom and creative space, it supports young people, families, and the wider community through learning programmes, wellbeing activities, and accessible experiences on the water. From the Steer Your Future youth programme to community events and private hire, every journey helps create opportunities, build confidence, and connect people with Liverpool’s waterways.
