we support their SMILE VIP sessions by running a fund paddleboarding session which get lone parent families onto the water. we love these sessions, they are full of laughter, connection and a lot of splashing!

​
dorset youth voice run activities that help them hear from children and young people (CYP) across dorset.
​
they are committed to enabling CYP to be heard, in a safe and inclusive space by a variety of means.
They also make sure that the right decision makers work with CYP to do things in a different way. There is something 'in it' for every child and young person when they get involved. They will develop many skills, gain confidence and improve their social mobility.
making memories programme
we are providing activity days for young carers through The Making Memories programme.
MYTIME Young Carers is fighting to level the playing field for young carers.
Young carers have been hidden in society for too long, with the vast majority juggling a huge amount of responsibility unsupported. At MYTIME we recognise and celebrate the incredible young people who do so much to support those that they care for.
We believe that young carers should have access to the support, the friendships, and the opportunities every child deserves.
M.V. freedom
we run the M.V. Freedom race at weymouth beach. It's a 5km Technical race followed by fun team races.
the M.V. Freedom charity has been in existence for 37 years and provides access to the sea for those people living with disability. Our passengers include those with sensory impairments, military veterans, young adults, children and the elderly. Many are confined to wheelchairs, and often would have no other way of accessing life enhancing sea going experiences and their proven therapeutic benefits.

PLUs size paddler
sarah believes that it shouldn't matter what size or shape you are, or whether you are able bodies in paddling.
her aim is to help make paddling more accessible to women through asking manufacturers to increase sizing options, encouraging women to have body confidence and get involved in the sport.
