Story

What we do

Our charity aims to provide water activities to young people within Lancashire, from disadvantaged / challenging backgrounds, affordably. Our activities are entirely staffed by dedicated and committed volunteers.

The Project

Our charity has leases and licenses for two bodies of water owned by United Utilities in Lancashire: Fishmoor and Spade-mill reservoirs. Fishmoor reservoir is our main site and we're embarking on a longer term plan for upgrading our facilities and providing a water activities and a community hub for the local community, as well as our other members and users from across the North West.

Your funding and support

We are a small charity, with limited capital, and we are exploring all avenues to make our plans a reality. So far, we have had significant support from our local community, with local businesses and organisations providing in kind services for architecture, surveys, planning and design, and others funding equipment and boats that are central to our delivery.

Our plans are moving at pace, but we need as much help as we can get to provide the best facilities possible, and ultimately create a fantastic environment for young people to develop and enjoy water-sports that are accessible locally, to the most deprived and challenged young people.

Your donation will be greatly received and appreciated, and will really help towards making a difference to the lives of many young people.
