Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The Dragon Boat Race will take place on Tuesday 18th August right in the heart of London’s Docklands.
Paddling side by side in a boat forty foot long; a drummer, sitting in the prow, beating time, a steerer at the stern with a giant paddle, all working together as one, this is the ancient sport of Dragon Boating catering for all ages and abilities. It’s exciting, motivating and fun.
The NSPCC
The NSPCC’s purpose is to end cruelty to children. We believe all children should be loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential. Sadly, in a far from perfect world, many children experience terrible cruelty and neglect.
The NSPCC has been protecting children and young people since 1884, giving them a voice, providing support and offering the promise of a brighter future.
We currently have over 180 teams and projects across the UK and Channel Islands. However, all of the NSPCC’s activities on behalf of children cost money. By entering a team for the Dragon Boat Race 2009, you can help to raise funds so that the NSPCC’s vital services for children and young people can continue.
