Litterpick for mental health

We are running a special litterpick for 12 adults who don't normally get to go on paddleboards or kayaks AND who have mental health issues - depression, feeling down, neurodivergence.

Come and help us litterpick from a paddleboard, or a kayak, or on foot from the towpath. This is a great way to help clean up City Road Basin and the Regent's Canal. It's also an amazing way to have a free paddleboard session (beginners are welcome). If you are a beginner please let us know on the booking form.

We prefer to keep this for adults only (18+), but older teenagers could attend if you please email Nicola in advance of booking on sup@islingtonboatclub.com

Litterpicking is strangely addictive, great fun and a wonderful way to give back to nature and the community.

Please wear old clothes suitable for paddling (eg, layers). You must wear shoes - old trainers or beach shoes are ideal. Please also bring a spare set of clothing just in case you get wet. If you are an influencer or cannot be parted from your phone ideally buy or borrow a waterproof phone case before the session.

We do supply buoyancy aids if you are on the water as well as litterpicks, gloves and trugs (bag) so you don’t need to touch any nasties.

We have a changing room with showers, toilets etc but we don't recommend you bring valuables on site. If you do we can lock them away.

Thank you to Paddle UK and Sport England for funding this one off community litterpick. Any Qs send to sup@islingtonboatclub.comnt Description
