02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The main purpose of the charity is to encourage safe water sports of all kinds. This includes kayaking, rowing, yachting & more. Considering how accessible the water is to us, we are all about promoting safety in and on the water. A long standing kayaking club is established that we are happy to facilitate, this encourages the youngsters in the village to learn safety. There is also an annual regatta which is held using our facilities. We maintain 4 moorings mainly used by visiting yachts but they can be used by anyone looking for sanctuary, to maintain this we ask for a mooring fee and are luck enough to have the support of a local business. The area is also used by people who have their own pleasure boats and is also used by local fishermen as well. We have two buildings which need to be maintained and this can only be achieved with donations and volunteers giving their time and expertise.
