We’re excited to announce the 6th annual Kitesurf Downwind Fundraiser!
This year marks a new chapter. Instead of being run by the local kite schools, the event will now take place under the umbrella of the East Kent Kite Club (EKKC) – a newly formed, BKSA-registered club bringing together kitesurfers from across the whole of East Kent. Our aim is to strengthen the community, share the stoke, and use our sport as a force for good.
Why We’re Fundraising
This year’s fundraiser is in aid of Porchlight, a Kent-based charity that has been working tirelessly for over 30 years to support homeless and vulnerable people. Porchlight helps those with nowhere to go and no one to turn to, providing vital shelter, support, and pathways to rebuild their lives.
Homelessness is sadly still on the rise, and it hits especially hard during the colder months. Few things are more troubling than seeing people sleeping rough in doorways or bus shelters. Through this fundraiser, we hope to raise funds that will go directly toward easing some of these struggles for people in our local community.
How You Can Get Involved
Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.
Share: Help us spread the word by sharing the fundraiser with your friends, family, and networks.
Join In: If you’re a kitesurfer, come and take part! It’s an incredible way to give back while doing something you love.
It’s a fantastic way to raise funds for important local causes.
