Paddle Trust, formerly the Canoe Foundation, are celebrating their relaunch by offering grants between £500 to £10,000 as part of a new £100,000 funding pot to support getting paddling projects off the ground and into the water.
Applications that focus on accessibility, environmental awareness, and durable impact will be prioritised. Some key focus areas for funding are:
- The improvement of launching, landing, and portage sites, such as accessible pontoons, towpaths and walkways and pontoon hoists.
- The installation of signage and information, promoting positive behaviour, and educating water users on how they can respect and protect their environment.
- The enhancement of access to water for all sectors of the community, including in less advantaged areas.
Groups and organisations, as well as individuals with an active interest in improving access to water and the environment are all welcome to apply.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 17th December 2025.
