🛶🐉 THANK YOU 🐉🛶

We are absolutely thrilled to share that we raised an incredible £7,700 at the Kingston Dragonboat Festival in July!

We are especially grateful to our volunteer face painters from Kingston University and our talented henna artist Halimah Abubacker
Big thanks again to James Kingston Royals Dragon Boat Club for our training session! Also the wonderful organisation on the day by and Dragon Boat Events

Finally a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who cheered us on and kindly sponsored our team. Your donations will make a huge difference in helping those facing hardship in our community. 💛
