<div>For decades, Broadness Cruising Club has been home to a unique community of boaters, families, and waterway enthusiasts. We are a self-help, not-for-profit club that provides safe mooring and access to the Thames for all types of vessels, from narrowboats, fishing boats, small dinghies, sailing vessels to dutch barges like ours.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, our future is under threat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to a legal dispute over land access, our only route to the site is being forcibly restricted by a developer—putting every member, every boat, and every future renovation project at risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are also threatening to throw the club off the land that the club has used for over 50 years and destroy our jetties and boats, despite us having a clear right to be there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The developer intends to lock the access gates permanently, which would effectively strand dozens of vessels and destroy a grassroots community that’s been active here for generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Fundraising
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising £10,000 over the next 2 months to fund a legal challenge and fight for our right to access the site. The funds will go directly toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Legal representation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Documentation and land rights research
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ongoing legal fees as we challenge the access restriction and the right to use the land the club is on
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any funds not used in the legal battle will be either:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Put towards improving club facilities, or
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donated to the RNLI, as a show of solidarity with our wider maritime community (final decision pending committee vote).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds will go into the Broadness Cruising Club bank account
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our finances are fully audited and reviewed annually at our AGM
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a community-led, constitution-based, not-for-profit organisation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Donate what you can – every pound genuinely helps
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. Share this campaign with your networks, boating forums, local groups, or anyone who believes in protecting community waterways
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3. Speak out – let people know what’s happening and why it matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just about a club. It’s about protecting grassroots access to the water, preserving the freedom to live afloat, and stopping the slow erasure of independent communities by unchecked development.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help us stand our ground.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>
<div>The Members of Broadness Cruising Club
</div>
<div>❤️
