An inclusive sport

British Canoeing’s Paddle-Ability initiative refers to activity for disabled people as it focuses on the individuals’ ability in canoeing rather than disability.

Whilst many canoeing clubs and centres offer opportunities for disabled people, British Canoeing recognises those that provide quality activity and experiences for disabled people through Paddle-Ability accreditation. For those just starting out, or wanting an introduction to canoeing Paddle-Ability Starter Sessions are a great place to start.

Discover your local Paddle-Ability Club by visiting the Go Paddling website.
