Family Event - Assume we can!
No Skills, No Pressure, No previous experience - Simple fun and accessible!
Over the last three years many of our children and young people have been smashing the stereotype and joining us in our annual Dragon Boat extravaganza - now it’s your turn to join us!
This year, we’re thrilled to be joined by teams from our amazing corporate partners — including the reigning fundraising champions, QCS!
Our teams will be going head-to-head on the water and in their fundraising efforts, all aiming to smash our targets once again.
But we can’t do it without YOU! The heart of this event is our community – getting in the boats, sharing the experience, and helping our partners truly understand the challenges (and all the joy!) that come with being part of this incredible world. They’re doing the fundraising heavy lifting — now we need you to jump in, and have an unforgettable time!
So why get involved?
Well, of course we think it’s a no-brainer! But here’s some more info:
Fun - for free! Sign up and show up, we will assign your young person and supporter(s) into one of the corporate boats ahead of time, so there’s nothing for you to organise. (Of course if you’d like to fundraise or donate, we wouldn’t say no…)
Do something new - we don’t know about you, but we’d never done dragon boating before our first year. It’s a fantastic way to try something new this summer holidays, and to keep the whole family entertained!
Represent your community - the event is open to everyone aged 12 and over, of all abilities. It’s not about who can row the fastest (we don’t mind if you don’t even pick up a paddle), what’s important is you are in the boat and part of the experience. Showing the world that your learning disability doesn’t limit you!
Sounds great! Where and when?
Canbury Gardens, Kingston upon Thames
20th July
We will keep you totally up to date with all of the information ahead of time, and we’re here to answer any and all of your questions.
This will be an incredible opportunity to represent you and your peers, showing our corporate teams what our community is made of. It’s a great way to start off the summer holidays, coming along with your friends to the sunny river in Kingston upon Thames and making a splash (well, no one ever actually hits the river, but there may be the occasional splash from the paddle).
And at the end of the day, we just want you to come along and have fun!
Simply sign up using this form to get signed up, and one of our team will be back in touch with you soon!
Still not sure?
That’s absolutely fine, get in touch and we can have a quick chat so you can ask any questions you need to make your decision. No pressure.
