Paddle Trust

Details

The Trust supports projects that increase access to canoeing. Specifically, they are looking to fund:

• Public launch and landing platforms, steps, ramps or other physical access points
• Improvements to pathway and/or accessible routes to the water’s edge
• Signage or information that promotes positive behaviour (Countryside code, “Check, Clean, Dry”, take your litter home etc).
• Designated or additional parking for water users
• Works to address erosion and/or create more sustainable access points
• Helping protect the waterway environment
• Multi user projects that can benefit more than one user group
• Public projects rather than private members-only facilities

Premium information is available exclusively to SCVO members and supporters
