Each level has its specific benefits:
Before you start on the 2025 volunteering scheme, we will have an on-boarding meeting with you to help you understand your capacity, show you the opportunities and understand your motivation. If you chose to volunteer above 20 hours, the club can help you attain your paddling qualifications by putting you through subsidised coaching courses. This will grant more opportunities to access the higher levels of volunteering benefits.

The club is able to run free CPD courses for those needing to maintain their qualification and need not pay to do it. These can be organised on request, otherwise the club runs two events per club year.
If you have not managed to reach your pledge in previous years, we ask that you do not pledge more than what you were able to do the next year unless you have previously discussed this with us (life sometimes gets in the way, we know!).
