Chamber Dragon Boat Challenge

Kingston Chamber of Commerce, led by CEO Jerry Irving will once again be entering a team into the Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge. The team will be raising money for our President’s chosen charity Kingston Carers. Kingston Carers’ Network (KCN) is a local registered charity, providing independent information, advice, advocacy and support to people who care for someone living in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Supporting carers of all ages, including young carers aged 5 to 18. They are committed to ensuring that carers have a stronger voice, offering a range of opportunities for carers to have a say in the way health, social care and carers’ services are run in the borough. In this year’s Dragon Boat festival over 60 teams will be competing to win the Dragon Boat Challenge Cup, whilst raising over £50,000 for charity. Kingston is the largest dragon boat event of this kind in the whole country. Please come along to Canbury Gardens and cheer on the Chamber team, feel free to pop by the team tent and say hello on the day.
