Contribution made by
volunteers

The club wishes to acknowledge the considerable
contribution from volunteers who support all functions of
this club. Without the dedicated support of these volunteers
the club would not run or offer activities.
Volunteers fill all the trustee positions, offer coaching and
courses, deliver competitions and support paddlers.
Many of the club paddlers also help with peer coaching and
leading, and with voluntary activities for the club.
Volunteers also take responsibility for the maintenance of
club equipment, and the club compound.

Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.

During the year the club widened the offer that was made
to paddlers and ensured that safety training was at the core
of what we offered.
As more people take up paddling the club sees itself having
a key role in offering education and basic skills training to
all who might want to start paddling.
Our Saturday morning sessions are open to anyone, and
temporary membership is available giving them the
opportunity to access the sessions and try out paddling in a
safe environment.
We are delivering the British Canoeing basic safety
courses encouraging paddlers to take responsibility for
their own safety out on the water, and to know how to deal
with a capsize and getting back into, or onto their craft.
Our Slalom and Freestyle sections have been supporting
paddlers to improve their skills and enter competitions, and
in slalom paddlers have been moving through the divisions.
