PEOPLE OF COLOUR PADDLE
Inspiring and normalising the participation of people of colour in paddlesport
OUR MISSION
We want to see more people from under-represented and marginalised communities to have the opportunity to participate in paddlesport at the recreational, competitive and elite level within the UK. We have formed the UK's first nationwide paddlesport club dedicated to the inclusion of people of colour to achieve our mission.
We want to change how the sport is perceived by our communities, as well as make the sport more inclusive of diverse faces, genders, minds and bodies.

Our Values
-
​We care about the planet and want to minimise the impact and carbon footprint of our activities;
-
We believe in and uphold authentic representation at all levels and do not condone tokenism;
-
We will continue to challenge systems that oppress, exclude and marginalise people of colour;
-
We will choose to prioritise continued participation in the sport, instead of one-off events;
-
We believe there is no diversity and inclusion without addressing intersectionality.
