RIPS CIC is a Community Interest Company, we operate for the community, not for profit!
Alongside running the continuation of sessions previously delivered by Moorland Adventure Ltd, Our mission is to make paddle sports affordable, accessible, and enjoyable for every child and young adult. We are committed to creating safe, supportive, and inclusive opportunities on the water, regardless of age, ability, ethnicity, background, or neurodivergence.
By working especially with groups impacted by the cost of living crisis, children and young adults in non-mainstream alternative education, and those living with disabilities, we aim to break down barriers to participation and build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of the outdoors.
Through paddle sports, we foster connection, well-being, and community, empowering young people to thrive both on and off the water; embracing diversity, and encouraging enjoyment of water activities in a safe, welcoming environment.

At RIPS CIC we aim to go ‘Beyond the Paddle’
