BCPD Trust Raft building & Kayaking Challenge

BCPD Trust a Luton based charity organised a Kayaking & Raft Building Challenge to encourage young people to take part in physical activities and enjoy an active lifestyle. This challenge is also used to develop and hone life skills including team work, leadership, communications, problem solving, decision making.

This years event on 23rd July was held at an outdoor event in Kempston near River Great Ouse. Our volunteers, tuition class students and other children from Luton were all participating at this event.

The funding was awarded by Luton Council’s Social Justice Unit, through BLCF, as part of the Luton Citizens’ Fund.

The team arrived at the outdoor event around 12pm and had light lunch before starting the activities at 1pm. The aim was to work together as a team and complete all activities and challenges by 4pm.

Everyone enjoyed the events thoroughly and at the end many participants jumped in the river and went swimming. Each person had buoyancy aids which meant you do not have to be a swimmer to participate.

BCPD Trust a Luton based charity has been inspiring young people into Education, Careers, Business and Sports since 2011. This event is an example of some of the different ways we are helping young people in Luton.
