Paddlers for Life Windermere

Registered charity number: 1200841
Paddlers for Life Windermere is a charity that supports people affected by breast cancer, along with their families and friends, by providing wellbeing, connection, and empowerment through dragon boat paddling on Lake Windermere.

What our donation will help fund

This generous £1,000 donation will directly fund the ongoing costs of maintaining our dragon boats and safety equipment, ensuring every session is accessible, inclusive, and safe. It will also contribute towards specialist training for our volunteer helms and coaches, allowing us to provide a supportive environment for paddlers of all abilities.

The difference this makes is profound: our members tell us that paddling together improves their physical wellbeing, builds confidence after treatment, and offers a sense of community where no one feels alone in their recovery. For many, being out on the water brings freedom, friendship, and the opportunity to rebuild strength in both body and mind.

Your support enables us to continue offering this life-affirming experience, helping more people live well after breast cancer.

At Paddlers for Life Windermere, we provide people affected by breast cancer with the chance to reconnect with their strength, wellbeing and confidence through the power of dragon boat paddling. Our community offers friendship, hope and support at a time when many feel isolated or uncertain. This generous £1,000 grant from the Benefact Group’s Movement for Good will help us maintain our boats, equipment and training so that we can continue to offer this life-affirming experience to people affected by cancer. It will make a real difference in ensuring more people can benefit from the healing, connection and joy that comes from being out on the water together.
