The unsinkable 2.0

On the 19th July we’re racing in the hotly anticipated Bedford River Festival Raft Race 2026. Connor, Ade, Nicole, Ray, Eddie and Paul will be sailing the “Unsinkable 2.0” sponsored by The Longholme. Hopefully to victory, but all in aid of Addenbrookes Charitable Trust. Every penny counts so please donate as little or as much as you can. Thank you!
