Ocean City Paddle Project: Bringing Paddlesport to Plymouth

Join Us in Making Paddlesport More Accessible!

Welcome to the Ocean City Paddle Project, an exciting initiative by Ethical Activities CIC aimed at providing paddlesport equipment, sessions and training for the vibrant community of Plymouth. Our goal is to bring the joy and benefits of paddlesport to anyone who wants to give it a go, regardless of age, ability, or background. But we need your help to make this dream a reality!

Why Paddlesport?

Paddlesport isn't just a fun and exciting way to enjoy the great outdoors; it's also a fantastic way to promote physical health, mental well-being, and a strong sense of community. Whether it's kayaking, canoeing, or stand-up paddleboarding, paddlesport offers a unique blend of adventure and tranquility that can be enjoyed by individuals and families alike.

The Need in Plymouth

Plymouth, known as Britain's Ocean City, is blessed with stunning waterfronts and rivers, making it the perfect setting for paddlesport activities. However, not everyone has access to the necessary equipment. Many people in our community, especially young people and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, miss out on the benefits of paddlesport due to the high cost of equipment and lack of resources.

Our Mission

At Ethical Activities CIC, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joys of paddlesport. Our mission with the Ocean City Paddle Project is to provide free or low-cost paddlesport equipment and training to the people of Plymouth. With your support, we can purchase kayaks, canoes, paddles, life jackets, and other essential gear to create a community hub for paddlesport activities.

How You Can Help

Your contribution can make a huge difference. Here's how you can support the Ocean City Paddle Project:

  • Donate: Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal. Your generosity will help us buy equipment and provide training sessions.
  • Share: Spread the word about our campaign. Share our story on social media, with friends, and in your community.
  • Volunteer: If you're passionate about paddlesport and want to help, we would love to have you on board as a volunteer.

Join the Movement

By supporting the Ocean City Paddle Project, you're not just funding equipment; you're fostering a community spirit and promoting healthy, active lifestyles. Together, we can make paddlesport accessible to everyone in Plymouth.

Let's paddle forward together!

Bouncy Aid! Keep someone afloat

One of the most important rewards... this means we can buy a buoyancy aid to keep someone safe on the water. Our canoes are stable so falling in is usually optional. We wear buoyancy aids a bit like a seta belt in a car.

Name a canoe!

You choose a name, we'll brand the canoe with it. Paddlers will see your legacy for years to come. You'll also have the chance to paddle the boat you named on a trip for anyone who chooses this reward. The canoes have 4 seats so you can bring some friends!

Sponsor a whole fleet of kayaks!

This will let us set up a whole new location for paddling! You can name every individual boat and we can work with you to make sure you get lots of opportunities to paddle them. This would be a great opportunity to provide 6 weekly sessions for a local youth group to get out on the water.
