"Helping and Inspiring people to go canoeing”
Set up in 1936 to send a team to the Berlin Olympics, the British Canoe Union (BCU) is the lead body for canoeing and kayaking in the UK. Since then the organisation has grown considerably, and the range of canoeing opportunity has increased tremendously.
The BCU is the umbrella organisation for Canoe England, Canoe Scotland, Canoe Association of Noerthern Ireland and the Welsh Canoeing Association.
