In August 2025, we joined Canary Wharf Contractors Fund (CWCF) for their brilliant annual Dragon Boat Race, joining the fun in a boat filled with team members from their 10 chosen charities.
It was an incredible day filled with so much laughter and healthy competition, with 30 boats racing down the River Thames in London and helping to raise vital funds to support the event charity partners, including Spread a Smile.
Lucy Jackson, Spread a Smile Chief Executive took part in the race, saying, “It was a real privilege to row alongside other organisations from the charity sector and to see first-hand the impact that Canary Wharf Contractors Fund (CWCF) is having for such a range of brilliant causes.
“CWCF has generously supported Spread a Smile since 2018, helping to spread hundreds of smiles to seriously ill children and young people and enabling us to reach new audiences and meet many new friends for the charity. Their backing – along with the introductions they’ve made for us – has been invaluable.
“We’re proud to work with such a dedicated and supportive company and team and look forward to achieving so much more together.”
A huge thank you to everyone involved with this special day for their hard work and support.
