what do we offer?
overstrand bungalows
Two fully furnished, spacious bungalows set in the grounds of Overstrand Hall near Cromer, Norfolk, available to hire on a self catering basis. The bungalows provide a holiday or respite in a totally accessible environment and encourages self independence.
day trips and activities
We offer a diverse range of day trips and activities, designed to suit all ages. All the venues that are chosen are accessible to disabled people.
Sunbeam Narrow Boat
Sunbeam is our fully accessible narrowboat used exclusively by disabled people and groups. Our qualified volunteer skippers and crew members accompany all trips to enable you to enjoy a narrowboat experience. The boat can take up to 12 passengers with a maximum of 6 people who have to travel in a wheelchair. The usual day on Sunbeam starts at 10a, with a return by 4pm. A stop halfway for lunch (usually a pub lunch) is an enjoyable part of the trip. There are 4 routes from Wanlip where our boat is moored.

mosaic’s sailability project aims to give disabled people the opportunity to sail locally or to learn how to sail a dinghy, irrespective of disability. Our instructors are qualified through the Royal Yacht Association and are on hand to give one to one instruction. Learn more about sailability
