from countless hours of help from

In June we took several new
members to Venice to take part in
the racing on the open sea and
also paddled 35k the following
day in the Vogalonga, a
celebration of the Venetian
waterways. It was a tremendous
experience for them forging
friendships within.
We attended the National
Championships in Nottingham.
We also took part in the Henley
Winter Series paddling 7.5km,
another great experience for our
new members.
The above events benefit our
members through improved
physical fitness and endurance,
wellbeing and support for each
other as Breast Cancer survivors.
We have raised significant funds
for our Charity via the following
events:

Our fundraising events are crucial
to keep us afloat.

We have established a Donations page and increased our profile by setting up an Instagram page and regularly updating our Facebook profile. We have used these fundraising events as an opportunity to raise awareness of breast cancer and the side effects of treatment such as Lymphoedema. Dragon boating helps to reduce the impact of these side effects on our members’ lives.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 At the end of the financial year
financial position at the Pink Champagne had £42,892 in
end of the period its bank accounts.
Statement explaining Para 1.22 Pink Champagne’s policy is to
the policy for holding hold sufficient reserves to cover
reserves stating why any unforeseen expenses that
they are held may occur e.g. boat replacement,
safety equipment, repairs etc.
Bournemouth, Christchurch &
Poole Council (BCP) is
redeveloping the Hengistbury
Head Outdoor Centre, where the
charity is based with
consultations taking place with
all the users. We anticipate that
we will have to contribute to the
capital costs of the
redevelopment in return for
reduced future rental payments.
Such a capital contribution will
come from reserves.
Furthermore, we have fundraised
in advance for an international
breast cancer event that will take
place in Italy in September 2023.
Funds are required for
registration (£300 per team
member).
Coronavirus has impressed on us
the need to maintain ample
reserves as we have not been
able to hold our Annual Festival,
which was our key fund raiser,
due to a lack of facilities since
the pandemic.
