Hosting events for Charity
The Sharks are supporting local people to raise money for charities, this Sunday 12th July 2026, we will be hosting a kayaking event on Southmere Lake Thamesmead to help local companies raise money for Move For Meals.
Every paddle stroke can help change a life.
This Sunday 12th July, we’re incredibly proud to be teaming up with the superstar colleagues from Abbey Wood Argos and Sainsbury’s as they take on the Move for Meals challenge, raising money for Comic Relief and helping provide nutritious meals to children and families across the UK. This isn’t just about paddling… it’s about coming together as a community to make a real difference. Join us on the water from 5:30pm till 7:pm.
Come along to Southmere Water Sports Centre, 4 Bazalgette Way, London, SE2 9AN.
Whether you’re completely new to paddlesport or already love being on the water, everyone is welcome! Come and learn to paddle, test yourself in some friendly races, cheer each other on, and be part of something truly worthwhile.
Your £6 session fee will go directly towards supporting Move for Meals and Comic Relief, helping children and families across the UK access the nutritious food they need to learn, grow and thrive. Can’t make it along? You can still support this fantastic cause by donating here.
Together, let’s turn paddle strokes into full plates, smiles into memories, and one brilliant evening on the water into lasting change. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your sense of adventure.Let’s show what our paddling community can do!
This is just the beginning of our charity fund raising events at Southmere, keep an eye out for future events and get involved. If you have any ideas or want to help then email us: thamesmead@thesharks.org.uk.
