AN accident repair centre in Newquay has come on board to support a popular paddle fundraiser held in the town.

Nick Quince and the team at Colourworx Newquay in Quintrell Road has committed £500 to the Joe Way Paddle for Life.

Colourworx have supported the event previously and their sponsorship goes directly into the charity fundraising pot, which supports children’s charities and initiatives focused on youth wellbeing and mental health.

Nick Quince, the owner of Colourworx Newquay, said: “The Paddle for Life is a fantastic event for Newquay and something we’ve been proud to support before. It brings the whole community together for a really important cause and we’re pleased to be backing it again this year.”

Event organiser Matt Way added: “It’s brilliant to have Nick and the Colourworx team supporting the Paddle again. Local business support makes a huge difference and helps us continue to grow the event and the funds raised each year.”

Organisers are inviting more local businesses to support the paddle as £500 sponsors.

A sponsorship goes straight into the charity fundraising pot, includes recognition across event promotion and on the day and demonstrates clear support for a trusted, long‑running community event.

Organisers are also currently seeking high‑value prizes for the popular online charity draw that accompanies the event. Businesses able to donate premium prizes such as experience days, accommodation stays, equipment, vouchers or other high‑end items are encouraged to get involved.

The Joe Way Paddle for Life is a much‑loved Newquay Harbour event that brings together paddlers, families, volunteers and local businesses to raise money for children’s charities and community causes. Since it began, the Paddle has raised over £185,000 for charities across Cornwall and beyond.

This year’s event takes place at Newquay Harbour on Thursday, June 18 from 3pm.
