Funding Success for Breadalbane CC – Continued support from The Gannochy Trust
Breadalbane Canoe Club
were delighted to have been awarded £10,000 from the Gannochy Trust COVID-19 Recovery and Renewal Fund.
The main purpose of the grant is to support our part-time Junior Canoe Slalom Talent Pathway Coach, Sam Miles. Sam joined the club at the end of last year and was recruited in partnership with Scottish Canoe Association to create a full-time coaching role. He had been working hard with the paddlers on the water and land, and when COVID-19
forced lockdown, Sam worked tirelessly via online sessions to help the paddlers to maintain their strength and conditioning. He could have given Joe Wickes a run for his money! Of course, as with many other clubs COVID-19 has had an impact on our normal functions including recruitment and retention of paddlers. With this in mind Breadalbane CC had applied to the Gannochy Trust to help support Sam’s continued relationship with the club.
The Gannochy Trust has supported Breadalbane Canoe Club in the past, so we are very grateful to them for their continued support and generosity. Without their funding the club would not be where it is today!
