The Canoe Foundation is delighted to announce its next funding round for grants.
The Foundation is looking for projects across the whole of UK that:
- Increase or enhance existing public access points to water for all forms of paddlesport
- Create launching and landing sites, to and alongside water, for all sectors of the community and all abilities, that are designed to be durable and use sustainable materials when applicable
- Protect and enhance the natural blue spaces we enjoy, such as rivers or coastline
- Are “ready to go”. Planning permission must have been researched and granted or agreed in principle, and quotes for the work obtained. We also need to see support from relevant local groups or partners (for example a letter of support from them), and evidence that the group has tried to get funding from other organisations or matched funding in place
Applications for Canoe Foundation funding will be accepted throughout the month up until 28 February 2025.
Full details on what will be funded and those who can apply is available on the Canoe Foundation website.

The #ShePaddles programme will be an empowering and transformative experience for female paddlers designed to enhance leadership skills, resilience, and ability to perform under pressure. Through a series of in-person and online sessions with leading performance consultants Jo Hopkins and Eliza Downey, you'll explore your leadership style, understand the impact of pressure on performance, and learn from various fields such as sport, the military, and the arts to drive individual and team performance. Additionally, hands-on paddling sessions led by Effie Ellis-O'Neill, an experienced Coach and Tutor of BCAB Qualifications, will help you develop and refine your skills on the water and guide you in your goal setting whilst building a community of female paddlers.
