The Big Avon Paddle
- Supporting local charities -
At CK SUP & Paddle, we are passionate about working closely with our community.
Since our early beginnings in 2014, we have been committed to raising much-needed funds for both national and local charities. From cancer charities to the RNLI, we believe in giving back and supporting those who need it most.
Between 2020 and 2024, we directed our fundraising efforts towards Dorothy House Hospice in Bath. In 2025 we decided to assist other, very worthy, local charities and began helping Keynsham and District Mencap Society.
For 2026 we are spreading the love even further and splitting the fundraising between K&DMC and Variety, The Children's Charity.
Our current running total is £76,500
While these charities need far more than we alone can provide, we are proud of our contribution — and, with your support, we will keep doing our part to help!
Raised so far: £76,500
In 2024, in the face of enormous funding adversity, Dorothy House Hospice still managed to care for more patients and families than ever before. Thanks to the support of our amazing community, more than 3,000 patients and 1,000 loved ones received their care, completely free of charge.
Our next fundraiser...
We at CK SUP & Paddle are looking forward to continuing to support both Keynsham & District Mencap Society as well as Variety, the children's charity.
Keynsham & District Mencap Society work to improve the lives and opportunities of children and adults with a wide range of both learning and physical disabilities, including Autism, Down’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Attention Deficit Disorder.
The next Big Avon Paddle is Saturday 12th September 2026
