Adventure Queens Grant
I applied in October 2022 and I was over the moon in February 2023 to be told that out of almost 200 applications the judges chose me to be one of 2022/23 AQ grant winners!
This summer I am doing a solo adventure paddle around the Finnish islands around the Helsinki archipelago of remote natural islands!

Successful Collaborations


#MakingWaves Project with The Outdoor Studio
The Outdoor Studio was searching for women to be involved in her #MakingWaves project and I loved taking part.

Save the Deben
I am pleased to be involved with the hugely important 'Save The Deben' campaign to raise public awareness of the plight of sewage in the River Deben.
I have campaigned, raised awareness by speaking to the press and on the radio, supported investigation into issues (raw sewage, farm land run off, pollution from roads etc) and the application for designated bathing water status application for Waldringfield/Woodbridge/Wilford Bridge.

Community
I love helping out in my local community. I organise events for the PTA at my son's school, I run local social groups for swimming and paddling, and I help out with village events too. The most recent being King Charles III's Coronation Celebration in May 2023. I also helped marshall the Woodbridge 10k Round-The-Town race recently. I love to give back, meet different people and bring people together.
