Lara Cooper leaves her role as Development Manager
13 June 2025

Today we salute the one and only Lara Cooper, who is leaving her role as Development Manager after a full career working in paddlesport.

Lara has truly worked to make Paddlesport For All and her impact on our sport cannot be overstated.


Paddle Scotland is grateful that she will stay on as our Lead Internal Verification Officer for the next 12 months.


Join us in saying a huge THANK YOU to Lara, and wishing her all the best on her next adventures!
