For over 40 years The Pirate Castle, based in its unique Castle premises on the Regent’s Canal in Camden, has provided boating fun on the water for young people and adults of all ages! With the extension to the Castle which was completed in October 2008 we have fully accessible premises, with a lift, accessible toilets and showers and an induction loop. There is also significant new space for community activities (including a modern commercial kitchen). The charity promotes activities and training for young people whether as individuals or in school or other groups. Our aim is to share our enthusiasm and expertise with young people so as to allow them to gain in self confidence and develop life and social skills that will help them to achieve their full potential. To achieve our objectives we often work in partnership with other charities and groups and provide sessions on our two narrowboats, skippering, canoeing and kayaking as well as canal side indoor facilities for both local organizations and visiting groups. Our slogan is ‘Adventure on the canal for all’ so we welcome everyone to come and enjoy our facilities and enjoy the canal. Our main priority target group is disadvantaged young people – whether that disadvantage is economic, disability or other. The Pirate Castle is run by four full time staff and a dedicated team of Coaches and volunteers, who between them organise and run our water based activities and help to ensure the full community use of our large hall. The Castle is available for use seven days a week and when not needed for one of our club activities, our hall is available for hire. Indoor activities at the Castle have included theatre workshops, drumming sessions, yoga classes, council surgeries, children’s parties, excluded children’s activities, computer classes, martial arts, dance workshops and an evening youth club. The Castle is a registered charity with no government or local authority funding, being financed entirely by the ongoing generosity of our friends and supporters. Maintaining sufficient funding, especially in the current environment is a continual battle and monies are always urgently required and appreciated. We are currently specifically seeking funds for a fully accessible narrowboat. Activities are overseen by a management committee which meets monthly and by a supervisory board of trustees. Anyone wishing to get more information about The Pirate Castle or wishing to participate in its activities or to make a donation, please contact Gus Alston, our Club Activities Manager for further details.

Kent Community Foundation is a charitable foundation set up to encourage philanthropy for the benefit of the people of Kent. Our unique approach to philanthropy allows individuals and businesses to support their own specific local interests and causes and in doing so invest in the future of their community. Our concept is simple. We provide the means for individuals and organisations to establish their own charitable 'funds' which, alongside our own general endowment, provide benefit to local people. We offer all the pleasure of giving without any of the hassle. We champion small groups and organisations, going out of our way to find local charities, community groups and voluntary organisations that need support. We guide them through our various funds in order to help them achieve their aims, which are in the main to improve quality of life for the people of Kent. Kent Community Foundation is seven years old this year. When the Foundation was established in 2001 it would have been difficult to conceive that seven years on more than £8.5 million would have been distributed to in excess of 3000 groups and organisations benefiting literally tens of thousands of people across Kent. A huge thank you goes to all those who have given and continue to give us their support. It is because of such people and organisations that in our seventh year alone we will be able to distribute close to £2.6 million and our donors 'endowed' funds have grown to in excess of £1.3 million
