The London International Kayak Fishing Festival was held at RK Leisure in Wraysbury - where it raised £1,000 for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, which supports families with a seriously ill child.

The event attracted more than 70 kayak fishermen from 11 different countries across the world. This year’s winner, Lars Lundberg from Sweden, will be representing the European Hobie Kayak Fishing Team at the upcoming World Championships.

Event organiser and tournament director, Ian “Dizzyfish” Harris, said: “The London International is now the unique event I always wanted it to be. We are delighted that we have been able to raise funds for Rainbow Trust, which is a truly worthy cause, offering support to families who are in desperate need of it.”

Rainbow Trust enables families who have a child with a life threatening illness to make the most of their time together through an expert Family Support Worker who becomes a trusted and constant person in family life.
