Canoe England Equipment Program 2010
A new project has been launched by Canoe England to provide Clubmark accredited clubs with the opportunity to purchase equipment at a reduced cost.
 
The Canoe England Paddlesport Participation Programme has been successful in applying to Sport England as part of the Capital Grants programme for funding to support the purchase of equipment under the Canoe England Accredited Club Equipment Project 2010. This equipment will support paddlers in the later stages of Paddlesport Development and as they move on towards the Train to Train phase of Long Term Paddler Development.
 
As part of the project, clubs will be able to purchase equipment in partnership with Canoe England resulting in the cost to the club being approximately 50% of the retail price. All Clubs who are currently accredited with Clubmark /Top Club /Top Club Gold status are eligible to apply.
 
A requirement within the project will be to provide the equipment to support local events through Canoe England’s Participation Programme and also make them available to local clubs to hire from time to time. In addition your club will be required to provide data on club membership, volunteers and coaches annually.
 
The equipment will be of a basic/club construction and we do not anticipate purchasing and Elite/Extreme constructed equipment. We are currently producing a list of equipment and prices and will forward this to your club on receipt of your form. It is anticipated that there will be a £2,000 cap on expenditure per club based on the retail prices (ie cost to club £1,000). Priority will be given to clubs that have not received funding in previous bids.
 
For more information or if your club would like to get involved in this project and purchase equipment, in partnership with Canoe England, then clubs should complete the Expression of Interest form available on www.canoe-england.org.uk/volunteers in the volunteer news section.  More information is also available by emailing cecg@canoe-england.org.uk.
 
The closing date for expressions of interest in Project 2010 is Monday 8th March 2010.

Sainsburys Active Kids

Welcome to Active Kids!

This year, Sainsbury's Active Kids is giving Clubmark accredited clubs the opportunity to take part in, and benefit from the Active Kids scheme.

What's Active Kids all about?

Since its launch in 2005, the aim of Active Kids has remained unchanged: to help teachers, leaders and coaches inspire and motivate young people to get active and be healthier by providing equipment and unique experiences for them to enjoy.

With 100s of pieces of equipment, resources and experiences on offer - from traditional sports equipment to more novel and cutting edge items - there's so much that your young club members could benefit from.

Look out for Active Kids 2010

Active Kids is now all set for its sixth phenomenal year. Over the last five years schools, Scout and Guide groups have benefitted from an incredible £86 million worth of active equipment and experiences!

So why not join in, and make sure your club claims its share of the great stuff on offer?

It's so simple to take part

From 17th February to 8th June 2010, Sainsbury's shoppers can earn Active Kids vouchers for every £10 they spend in a main store (or every £5 spent in Sainsbury's Locals), at Sainsbury's petrol stations or online at sainsburys.co.uk.

These vouchers can be donated to your club for you to redeem for any of the products featured in the Active Kids 2010 catalogue.

It's so easy to join in - register your club from 7th December 2009 by calling the Active Kids helpline on               0844 415 8440         0844 415 8440.

We'll then send you a welcome pack, including your catalogue to help get you going.
