02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Sorted Project supports people in recovery with complex health needs around mental health and substance dependency. Our unique service operates from a purpose built canal boat called Panacea on the Union Canal in Edinburgh. Panacea was built and launched in 2019. We provide a healthy social network onboard and we teach our participants to sail and gain qualifications from the Royal Yachting Association. We also operate a smaller canal boat called Gryphon and this is a dedicated training boat where we deliver the RYA Helms course. Gryphon was purchased at the end of 2024. We partner with many recovery organisations and regularly sail with a variety of recovery groups along the Union Canal. We aim to improve health and well-being and confidence and support people onto further opportunities as they increase their skills and develop aspirations.
