Paddle UK

Today marks a new chapter in our story. We’re excited to share that we have rebranded to Paddle UK. Our new name and branding has been inspired by the changing demographics of our evolving membership, and allows us to represent all paddlers across the UK more inclusively. In this very exciting Olympic and Paralympic year, we look forward to inspiring and supporting every paddler and each member of our community, whether competing or taking part for leisure. We look forward to sharing more of our branding with you in the coming weeks! #PaddleUK Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gs_avxiX
