Lancashire businesses and adventure-seekers are being urged to grab a paddle and take part in Age UK Lancashire’s 10th Annual Canoe Challenge – a thrilling 25-mile endurance event along the Lancaster Canal, all in support of older people across the county.
This year, the challenge features two events:
📅 Public Challenge – Saturday 10th May 2025
📅 Corporate Challenge – Friday 31st May 2025
Last year’s event raised an incredible £11,000, helping fund essential services that combat loneliness, provide vital support, and ensure older people can continue living independently.
Victoria Lamb, Fundraising Manager at Age UK Lancashire, said:
“We’re so excited to bring back the Canoe Challenge for its 10th year! It’s a fantastic opportunity for businesses to strengthen teamwork while making a real difference to older people in Lancashire. Just £300 per team can change someone’s life.”
With limited team spaces, businesses are encouraged to register early to secure their place. No experience is necessary – all equipment and training are provided.
