Back for its 6th year, the Ipswich Dragon Boat Race has become Brave Futures' flagship fundraiser, raising life-changing funds to support young survivors of sexual abuse. This year, we’re aiming higher than ever with a goal of 36 teams joining the fun on the water, and we hope to make an even greater impact.

As the boats race along the waterfront, the quayside comes alive with the energy and spirit of the local community. This event is more than just a day on the water; it's a powerful stand against child sexual abuse, sending a clear message to survivors and young people that they are not alone. Brave Futures offers specialised, trauma-informed support that gives survivors the tools they need to heal and rebuild their lives.

Every donation helps us continue this life-saving work, providing specialist support, and a safe space for children and young people who’ve experienced abuse. By coming together for this event, we're not just raising funds—we’re showing our commitment to a safer future. Join us on the water and let’s make a difference that ripples through the community.
