MISSION50

Event dates: Saturday 1st May 2021 – Friday 31st December 2021

We are aiming to raise £50,000 to secure IBCs future with a series of events and fundraising campaigns around the number 50, to celebrate our 50 years at City Road Basin and to look ahead to the next 50 (minimum!).

Our aim is to join forces with local people, schools, youth groups and businesses and build up a team who will help us raise the money to ensure that we can support them in the future: to encourage people to try out watersports for health and wellbeing; and last but by no means least…………….to have FUN!!
