Swinton Lock Activity Centre is a trusted safe space, committed to delivering emotional, social and wellbeing services, which are community led.
We are based adjacent to the South Yorkshire Navigational Canal and own two narrow boats, one of which is fully accessible. Both boats are used to offer boat-handling courses, volunteering opportunities and pleasure trips to both children and adults.
What we Do
Swinton Lock Activity Centre provides an extensive range of activities and support for both young and old.
Room Hire
Our location, facilities and ample parking also make Swinton Lock an ideal location for meetings, conferences and parties.
Boat Trips & Training
Join our experienced crew for a relaxing cruise along the canal. Learn how to skipper the boat and manage locks.
Open Days
We also hold regular open days where you can come to meet the staff and sample many of the activities we have to offer.
Here at Swinton Lock and National Autism and ADHD assessment centre, we believe in positive reinforcement and celebrating the wins. That’s why we have introduced a way of making sure that the hard work our local schools are putting in, to become more inclusive for neurodiverse students, is recognised.
Moving forward we will award a School, with a certificate of achievement, naming them our champion school of the month.
A School who shows commitment to:
✅ Designing an innovative and inclusive curriculum.
✅ Understanding and responding to individual neuro-developmental needs.
✅ Re-enforcing best practice.
✅ Enhanced wellbeing, confidence and engagement for their students.
✅ Commitment and willingness to work with external agencies and families, forging strong partnerships.
✅ Striving to achieve student sensory regulation.
This months winner is:
🌟Swinton Fitzwilliam Primary School 🌟
We want to share how well they have done to improve their practise and performance. Our team are proud to see their success stories unfold and we look forward to seeing their students grow and thrive!
Well done 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Take a look at one of the schools success stories in the poster below. The name has been changed to protect the child’s privacy and identity, but the information is all factual.

Amazing 👌👏 how, as a teacher can I found out more please?
Thats fantastic. Well done to this school for making positive changes and helping the children.
FYI ‘positive reinforcement’ is NOT neuro affirming. autisticrealms.com/why-pbs-is-harmful-for-autistic-and-neurodivergent-young-people/
