Making Waves for Local Good: Genuine Solutions Will Paddle for Kingston Giving at the Dragon Boat Race

We’re thrilled to announce that Genuine Solutions is supporting Kingston Giving at this year’s Annual Kingston Dragon Boat Races. Taking place on Sunday 20 July, this high-energy community event is not only a beloved Kingston tradition, but also a brilliant opportunity to raise vital funds to support local people.

From the riverside cheers to the splash of oars in rhythm, the Dragon Boat Race brings people from across Kingston together.

We’re incredibly grateful to Paul Crossman, CEO of Genuine Solutions, and the whole team for their backing, spirit and enthusiasm. Paul shared:

“We’re really proud to be backing Kingston Giving in the Annual Kingston Dragon Boat Races this year and helping raise much-needed funds for brilliant local charities that make a real difference in our community. Getting involved in the dragon boat race feels iconically Kingston — it’s a fantastic way to come together, have some fun, and show what teamwork can achieve. Our team is genuinely excited to get out on the water, make a splash, and hopefully an impact too. We’re all set to dive in and make the most of a brilliant day!”

We couldn’t agree more. At Kingston Giving, we believe that when local people and businesses come together, great things happen. Genuine Solutions’ support means we can continue our work to tackle inequality and create opportunities for people across our borough - and we’re so excited to cheer them on as they race down the Thames!

If you’re in Kingston on 20 July, come and find us by the river. We’ll be hosting a stall, and it’s shaping up to be a fantastic day of community spirit, friendly competition, and local pride.

Let’s make waves — together. 🐉🌊
