Funding opportunities !
If you ’ ve got a fantastic paddling project that needs some financial help , then take a look at the two funding opportunities we have available .
Stronger Together Fund
Not-for-profit clubs and organisations with projects to get more people paddling can apply for up to £ 10,000 from British Canoeing ’ s new Stronger Together Fund .
Thanks to the huge growth in our membership , we ’ re planning to distribute funding to benefit paddling communities based in England over the next three years .
Projects that support young people , women and girls , people from under-represented communities and differently-abled people to get paddling are considered a priority . Projects should also continue to provide support , access and opportunities after the Stronger Together Fund donation is spent .
Happy New Year from Canoe Foundation !
We ’ re looking forward to supporting lots of great new paddling projects across the UK once our new funding window opens on 15 February 2023 .
While we ’ re waiting , we ’ ve taken the opportunity to look back at some of the fantastic projects we supported in 2022 which can now be enjoyed by paddlers of all abilities . Projects that were completed in the last year were supported by over £ 65,000 of Canoe Foundation awards ; with a further £ 100,000 of grants awarded and still to be claimed as projects are completed .
With your help , we can support more projects !
We ’ ve had hundreds of enquiries in the past couple of years and while we ’ ve been able to provide funding to many projects , we ’ d love to support more . With your help , we ’ ll be able to get more projects off the ground across the UK . No amount is too small so please consider making a one-off donation , setting up a regular direct debit or even leaving us a legacy in your Will . You can donate online at

New Pontoon Access installed by Cardiff International White Water Centre
CIWWC was awarded a grant in February 2021 to reach more diverse communities and engage homeless people through paddlesports .
The grant enabled the Centre to expand their offering into flat water paddling and helped access hard to reach communities through outriggers and SUPs . The new pontoon is an excellent opportunity for people to safely access the water in a key location . It expands the canoe trail access to Cardiff Bay and the Rivers Tay and Ely , and is helping to engage diverse communities .
Amount awarded : £ 10,000
