Sam started life near the coast in Cornwall and started paddleboarding later in life. Paddleboarding became very popular during Lockdown and Sam, now living in Peasemore decided to start a free SUP social group- now with over 800 members. Being out in the countryside near water, in fresh air has many Mental health benefits and Sam’s passion project has led to her interest in Mental Health Support Groups and Charities. SUP Buddies organises social outings, family splash and play – and has a jubilee paddle and paddle rubbish collections in the planning, as well as outings to Old Harry Rocks and the Norfolk Broads. Sam has also been organising collections and is looking for donations for Ukraine.
