LTCFC host another Kayaking day

29th September 2024 / 9th February 2025 by Wendy Bell

On Tuesday 24^th September, the London Taxi Drivers’ Charity for Children took 25 wonderful, well-deserving children from Cubitt Town School kayaking at the Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre. This was a unique opportunity for them as none of the children had ever been on the water before, so this will have given them all great confidence around water now. Unfortunately some of the parents did not give consent for photographs of their children’s faces to be used in our publications, but trust us there were real smiles on those faces and they all had a fantastic time.
