What we are able to achieve with this support

 

In August this year, it was a great pleasure to work alongside a local Children's Hospice, and allow two very sick young children out on the water, one of which was William RIP had a rare case of Leukemia and cerebral Pusey, and his wish was to play on the water in a boat,

With 2 of our senior instructors, we arranged to get William out in a Canoe, with 14 Infusion Pumps and Oxygen attached, plus monitoring equipment, not a easy challenge, but we managed it, with safety plans, and medical teams and ambulance teams involved, we got him out on the water, were by the end of the session he was self paddling a canoe, Mum and Dad were in Tears  we all were and still to this day brings us to tears.

Our staff went to visit him, and he was buzzing for the next 10 days, till he sadly passed away, but we were left with one wish from William, please do not forget me, and help other sick people to paddle like I did with you, that was amazing thank you

 


 

BBC Country File Live

LNC Activities and Training played host to thousands of first-time Canoe and Kayakers at BBC Countryfile Live this August, The live event at Blenheim Palace Oxfordshire,this was the ideal venue to let the Great British Public experience the fun of kayaking and Canoeing in the estate's spectacular waterside setting.
 

Over the four days the LNC team voluntarily ran over 700 daily 'Have a go!' sessions, this allowed mum, dad, the kids of all ages and even the grandparents to be part of the fun.

This is how the many of the UKs Gold Medal Canoe and Kayak Olypians have started their carrers with a simple taster session.
 

Families booked in with the team from angling charity Get Hooked on Fishing and LNC Outdoors for free canoe and fishing sessions.

This joined up offer of boating and angling was a huge hit with over 5,000 booking on for the fishing, coracles, canoe and kayak have-a-go activities, and a packed waterside zone where hundreds more families could experience the fun of the waterside, there was even a option to watch the Coracle Society build their historic craft.
 

Word soon spread round the cast of the TV show about the waterside activity with presenters Matt Baker, Tom Heap, Adam Henson and Anita Rani coming to see the coracles, Kayaks and Canoes. There was even the odd photograph of the presenters  paddling or casting a line.

We know as a team we had a great time at the show and it was nice to see so many of you enjoying yourselves, maybe you could share them on Facebook and Twitter your pictures, highlights and fun at the waterside.
