The DPO Centre is proud to announce its participation in the Dragon Boat Race, which returns to Ipswich Waterfront for its sixth year. The event brings together up to 40 teams from local businesses and organisations for a day of racing, community engagement, and charitable fundraising.
When: Saturday 7 June 2025
Where: Ipswich Waterfront
Time: From 10:00am
We’ll be taking to the water with not one, but two mighty teams – Blazing Paddles and Privacy Pirates – powered by our #ONETEAM spirit and a shared determination to make a meaningful difference.
All proceeds from the event will go to Brave Futures, a charity providing vital therapeutic support to children and young people across Suffolk and Norfolk who have experienced sexual abuse. Their services help survivors rebuild confidence, develop resilience, and take steps towards recovery.
Every donation can truly change lives. If you’d like to contribute, please visit our JustGiving page and help us raise funds for this important cause.
We look forward to joining our fellow racers and cheering crowds on the day – all in support of a brighter future for the children and young people Brave Futures empowers.
