The Sorted Project

About

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.
