IOS VET SUPPORT GROUP

IOSVSG

PaddleFree was born out of need. A need for focus; a need to get up close and personal with the world. It then evolved into a desire. Desire to do some good, for adventure and for escape. And now here it is! An initiative set up to raise awareness and money for rescue services, environmental and animal welfare campaigns through water based activities.

It has long ago stopped being an individual effort, and the PaddleFree team has been expanding steadily. Each person has brought a new perspective and dimension to the project. The first journey is just around the corner and even now the project is still growing!

The two groups to benefit from PaddleFree 2010 activities are British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), a charity who rescue the sea life that finds itself stranded on our coastline, and the Isles of Scilly Veterinary Support Group, a community group dedicated to helping provide the island’s animals with the same standard of veterinary equipment and care taken for granted on the mainland.

We may not break any records or cause a global revolution but, we are here, pulling together and making an effort to create a positive difference. That is essentially what PaddleFree is all about!
