Stonehouse Dragon Boat Race for Thin Blue Paw and Dreams Come True

We're back on the water!

This June, the Stonehouse team is taking on the Bradford Dragon Boat Race once again — paddling hard to raise funds for two amazing causes: Dreams Come True and our newly chosen 2025 charity, Thin Blue Paw.

Dreams Come True is the only UK wish-granting charity dedicated to children with disabilities, serious illnesses, or life-limiting conditions living in the most disadvantaged areas. We've proudly supported them for over 5 years years and remain committed to helping make magical moments happen for the children they serve.

Thin Blue Paw, our new charity partner for 2025, is a fantastic organisation that supports serving and retired police dogs across the UK. These incredible animals devote their lives to protecting us — but once they retire, they receive no government support. Thin Blue Paw steps in to ensure they get the care and love they deserve.

This will be our second year competing in the race, and we're aiming to smash our previous time — and our fundraising target!

Every donation helps. Thank you so much for your support, and we hope to see you at Roberts Park cheering us on!
