The challenge was proudly supported by Bache Group, Principal Partner of The Albion Foundation, alongside CSCM, 60to40, and Tremlett & Turner, whose sponsorship and backing helped make the expedition possible. Their commitment went far beyond sponsorship, with many of them taking on the challenge themselves, demonstrating an unwavering belief in The Albion Foundation and the communities it serves. Speaking after completing the crossing, Jonathan Ward, Deputy Director of The Albion Foundation, said: “Completing the English Channel is something I don’t think any of us will ever forget. Every stroke of the paddle represented the people and communities we support through The Albion Foundation. On behalf of the whole team, thank you for believing in what we do and helping us make a real difference.”
