All Aboard, the canal boat run by People Know How and Polwarth Parish Church is set to feature on the BBC’s Songs of Praise on 20 February 2022.


The All Aboard canal boat run by People Know How and Polwarth Parish Church is making its second television appearance after launching last September.

We work in partnership with the church to run the boat on the Union Canal in the heart Edinburgh, offering a space for wellbeing and community cohesion. Organisations and community groups are invited to make use of the boat, offering a unique setting in which to deliver sessions and take trips on the canal, supporting the community through art, music, culture, heritage and more.

This January, filming took place on the boat showcasing the work of the partnership including interviews with Reverend Jack Holt and All Aboard Coordinator Anna Philbrick during a trip down the canal.

Tune in to the BBC at 1:15pm on 20 February to see the feature!
