						David Bruce was awarded the OBE in the Queen’s 
						Birthday Honours on 12 June 2021, as Founding Trustee of 
						The Bruce Trust and as immediate past-President of The 
						Kennet & Avon Canal Trust. 
						 
						
						
						From January 2016 The Bruce Trust’s boats were gifted to 
						and have been operated by the specially-formed “Bruce 
						Branch” of the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust. The four 
						boats are continuing to operate from Great Bedwyn and 
						all the administration is being undertaken by Kennet and 
						Avon Canal Trust staff in Devizes.  
						
						
						The Bruce Trust retains its current board of Trustees 
						and Rebecca Bruce remains as Director but its focus for 
						the future will be more on fundraising and grant-giving 
						for the specific benefit of people with special needs to 
						enjoy the outstanding facilities now provided by the 
						Bruce Branch of the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust.
