Paddle UK navigates new waters with rebrand

Paddle UK, formerly known as British Canoeing, has recently rebranded to welcome a broader and more inclusive range of members from various paddling and water sports disciplines.

With over 90,000 members and almost 400 clubs, they are an excellent example of an organisation effortlessly managing a massive member base with JustGo, ensuring consistent member engagement and retention.

We recently spoke to them about their membership approach and the pivotal role that JustGo plays in enhancing their member experience.

Paddle UK’s members include individuals of all athletic abilities and interests, ranging from leisurely recreational paddlers to elite Olympic athletes. As the membership base continues to grow, the challenge of effectively meeting their diverse needs intensifies. 

To rise to this challenge, Paddle UK prioritises creating a strong member journey, supported by clear and effective communication.

JustGo has been partnered with Paddle UK for over 6 years now, and we’re proud to have witnessed the remarkable growth of their community firsthand. It has been a pleasure to observe how adeptly they cater to their members, coordinate events, manage communications, and organise their operations through the system.

More excitingly, Paddle UK underwent a major rebranding effort, opening the doors to the full breadth of paddling activities they cover, including stand up paddleboarding, canoeing and paddlesport. This will support the organisation’s development and growth, reflecting their commitment to inclusivity with the motto, “Every Paddler, Every Craft, For Every Type of Water”.
