Paddleboarding fundraiser to return to docks
Frank Water’s flagship fundraising event is returning to the docks for its fifth annual outing.
The Stand Up for Safe Water paddleboarding challenge takes place on July 4 in the water in front of the Cottage Inn.
A new format this year will see teams compete in four-a-side SUP Ball, a water bucket challenge and the classic sprint relay race.
is needed now More than ever
The event held in partnership with SUP Bristol is open to anyone over-18, with no equipment or experience needed but fancy dress actively encouraged.
Through the money raised, the fundraiser hopes to provide safe water access to more and more people across the world.

Lizzie Archer, corporate partnerships manager of Frank Water, said: “In the UK we have easy access to safe and clean water, but joining our event will help us to reach even more people that don’t.”
Co-founder of SUP Bristol, Tim Trew, added: “We take it for granted that we can turn on the tap and clean water comes out.
“It’s outrageous that one in ten still don’t have clean drinking water and we’re delighted to support Frank Water to help change this while showcasing the best of Bristol to their supporters.”
