Story
I'm joining Regenerate and kayaking the source to sea challenge (with little kayak experience or training...)
We will be kayaking from the source of the River Thames all the way to the Sea. Starting at Cricklade, the team will kayak over 215 miles through Reading, Oxford, Windsor, Putney, and Westminster, ending at Southend pier. This gruelling journey will take ten days hard kayaking to travel from the source of the River Thames to the North Sea.
Funds raised will change young peoples lives on the Roehampton and Putney estates. Regenerate regularly works with over 350 young people providing life changing positive activities and safe spaces in an area experiencing high levels of child poverty, hopelessness, addiction, violence and crime. Serious youth violence and knife crime are big contemporary issues and have made headlines across the country.
Regenerates projects include youth club activities providing sports, healthy cooking, music and games; as well as mentoring and volunteering opportunities. They also create job opportunities and training for unemployed young people through their social enterprise and leadership development programmes.
Any donation will be hugely appreciated and if you are unable to donate, please share this page to as many people as possible!
100 percent of money raised goes directly to support young people in projects by providing positive activities and mentoring relationships.
