In 2015, the Bruce family decided that the Trust that they had created and nurtured had grown into an organisation which was too big for just one family on its own to continue to lead for the long-term future. They contacted the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust who agreed to form a Strategic Alliance with The Bruce Trust to help continue their objective of providing canal boat holidays for people with a wide variety of special needs, for many years to come.

From January 2016, The Bruce Trust’s boats have been gifted to and operated by the “Bruce Branch” of the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust. The four boats are continuing to operate from Great Bedwyn with all the administration being undertaken by Kennet and Avon Canal Trust staff in Devizes.
