We are a small kayak club open to all ages. We want to encourage youngsters but remove some financial constraints to young people gaining qualifications by the Club being able to offer payments towards course costs. In some instances being able to offer payments towards kit will make the sport more attainable. Handheld VHF radios and PLBs can be expensive, but a vital resource to the Club to ensure everyone's safety when out on longer trips.
