Do you want to make a difference to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Paddle Sports? Are you looking to gain experience as an expert advisor? Have you got insights and experience which can help Paddle UK to be a more inclusive organisation? If so, we have the opportunity for you!

As an organisation we want to promote a culture of respect and to champion inclusion and anti-discrimination across paddle sports. Paddle UK has a group of volunteer external advisors, who help us to make good decisions for our strategic and operational initiatives. These advisors form our Inclusion Advisory Group (known as the IAG).

The IAG was established to support Paddle UK to become a more inclusive and diverse organisation, both internally in terms of our workforce and externally in terms of our partnerships, providers, clubs, paddlers, coaches and athletes. The group helps us to achieve this by providing advice at strategic and/or operational level. Informed by their professional or personal experience they give us guidance, support and insights. This helps to inform us at policy, decision making and practice levels.
We are currently seeking new IAG members, either from a professional EDI background, or from a paddle sport/other sporting/outdoor activity background, with an interest in or experience of EDI.
