“Live music is a huge part of what makes Paddle for Life special. It’s not just about the fundraising.

“It’s about creating an atmosphere, bringing people together and showcasing the incredible talent we have locally. This year’s line-up really captures that journey through the day.

“The Joe Way Paddle for Life continues to grow in both scale and atmosphere, with live performances playing a key role in bringing the harbour to life throughout the day.

Alongside the live music, the event will feature the paddle itself, family-friendly activities and a popular online charity draw with high-value prizes donated by local businesses.

The Joe Way Paddle for Life has raised over £185,000 for children’s charities and youth wellbeing initiatives.

Organisers are continuing to invite businesses to get involved through sponsorship or prize donations, helping to grow the funds raised and extend the impact of the event.
