The Big Stand – Environment, Education, Adventure, Leadership.
‘The Big Stand’ is the world’s first charitable incorporated organisation with stand up paddling at its heart.
The Big Stand’s vision is to bring stand up paddleboardng (SUP) to a wide community of people in the UK. By funnelling business profit into a charitable scheme the Big Stand aims to develop and connect young adults to their environment through adventure, leadership skills, environmental awareness, and health education. And through SUP young people can try a new sport, meet new people, build resilience and improve confidence.
Adventurer and Founder Charlie Head explains “We offer young people a range of courses that provide skills and knowledge they might otherwise never learn. Leadership, stand up paddling, planning expeditions, bush-craft, first aid, and endurance skills are core aspects of our residential courses. At the end students will plan their own mini stand up paddleboard adventure expedition to complete the course.”
