It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and this year's theme is nature. We’re encouraging all paddlers to get up and out onto the water to show your support and #connectwithnature. 

As part of the SCA’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion strategy we have created a Mental Health and Wellbeing Equality Group. We want to encourage more conversations around paddlesports and our wellbeing. 

It is Mental Health Awareness Week between 10th and 16th May, and we would welcome your support. If you would like to be an ally and show your solidarity with us in recognising Mental Health Awareness Week, please feel free to copy and paste the following message on to any of your social media sites.
