Keeping PeggotyTom IV Cruising for the Community
Raising for Islington Boat Club
For many years, PeggotyTom IV has been more than just a narrowboat. She has been a place of calm, connection, and enjoyment, offering affordable — and often free — trips to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Thanks to careful upkeep, she remains sound in body. However, after years of loyal service, her heart — the engine — is now showing significant wear and tear. With a limited budget and rising maintenance demands, we believe the time has come to replace it with a completely new engine.
A new engine will allow PeggotyTom IV to continue providing safe, reliable trips and to remain accessible to those who might otherwise miss out on the experience of being on the water.
We can’t do this alone. Any donation, no matter how small, will be gratefully received and carefully used to secure PeggotyTom IV’s future and keep her cruising for many years to come.

About us
Islington Boat Club
Charity number: 287680
Essentially a youth club, but offering activities to all ages, we are based in an oasis of calm and secure water amidst towering city buildings and social housing, Islington Boat Club has been offering watersports based activities for 56 years. We have seen over half a million children through our gates and hope to see millions more. Started in 1970 by local activist Crystal Hale, IBC has developed from a small youth club into a cross generational, fully inclusive community gem.
One thing remains true for Islington Boat Club (IBC), we want to continue our mission - To inspire learning, improve health, promote socialisation and strengthen the Islington community by providing a wide range of safe and affordable water-based activities for everyone – with a focus on young people, the over-50s and people with disabilities. Our full history can be found on our website.
