Are you a queer person or colour or queer migrant who wants to try paddling this summer? Grab an oar!
On Sunday 14th July, we’ll be running our first kayaking session in collaboration with Laburnum Boat Club! The session will develop basic paddling skills, teamwork and water-confidence and will be run by Laburnums' very experienced Paddle UK qualified instructors. All equipment (including bouncy-aids, harnesses and splash-proof jackets) will be provided, but as part of all the fun, you can expect to get wet!
The kayaking session will last for two hours, and is based from Laburnums' club site in Hackney, right next to the canal.
Places are free but limited, so please sign up! Please note this event is exclusively for queer migrants and queer people of colour.
This event is being run by The Love Tank, as part of the Maureen Project, and in collaboration with Laburnum Boat Club.
MAUREEN is a project of The Love Tank CIC. The takes a holistic approach to addressing the health and wellbeing needs of queer migrant men and queer men of colour living in London, through research, coproduction, training and a range of events throughout the year.
