Online Funding Applications

Our grant funding is available for projects that:

• Increase and protect public access points to water for recreational users.
• Create sustainable launching and landing sites, to and alongside water, for all sectors of the community and abilities.
• Protect and enhance the natural environment we enjoy such as rivers or coastline.

Applications should be from:

• Clubs
• Community groups
• Parish Councils
• Local Authorities or anyone in the UK with an active interest in improving access to water for recreational users and protecting the environment
• Organisations or partnerships with local paddlesport groups who will continue to support the use of the improvements on an ongoing basis

Specifically, we are looking to fund:

• Launch and landing platforms, steps or ramps.
• Improvements to pathways and accessible routes to the waters edge.
• Signage and 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 create more sustainable access points.
• Projects that actively engage recreational water users in helping protect the waterway environment (such as habitat creation or invasive non-native species action).
• Projects that are multi user or can benefit more than one user group.
• Projects that benefit all paddlers rather than member facilities
• Does that fit your project? Make sure you submit your application before the deadline.
