Pathway to Paddlesports with Backbone CIC
Paddle Scotland has partnered with Backbone CIC to support their Leaders for Change Training Academy which supports Black, Asian, and Ethnic individuals and organisations.
The 'Pathway to Paddlesports' programme is led by Paddle Scotland Development Manager Calum McNicol and offers participants the opportunity to try out paddlesports and even progress to a leadership role should this be something they want to do. The programme has already produced three qualified instructors with others on the same path.
