Starboard in the City
This program brings together schools, local beach and park clean groups and even local councils. Starboard in the City is bringing together the community to learn from workshops and litter picks, all to clean up our planet. Most of the clean ups hosted by Liverpool SUP Club are on paddleboards, making the experience even more enjoyable for the local community.
