Red Paddle Co Ambassador
In preparation for my solo paddleboarding trip in Helsinki I bought a new touring board. I tried a lot of brands but was blown away by the 12'6" Voyager touring board after trying a friend’s. I find it so incredibly stable and this was invaluable when I was paddling on the Baltic Sea. It was really choppy but the board is amazing and she (I've named her Ruby) cut through the waves with ease.
I've since also become the owner of a Red Compact board and I am a huge fan of the Red brand. I am over the moon to become an ambassador and start writing more blogs and articles for them.
OS Champion
I'm so excited to be joining the OS Champions for 2024! Along with other like-minded people, I will join the 2024 group of approximately 100 OS Champions helping to showcase the best of Britain’s outdoors with inspiring stories and expert advice to help people get outside.
This Girl Can Suffolk
I am a This Girl Can Suffolk Ambassador. This Girl Can is a Sport England campaign funded by the National Lottery. As part of this campaign, supported by Active Suffolk, my role is to help inspire other local females to be active.
“We just wanted to say how grateful and proud we are to have such an amazing group of ambassadors in our wonderful county. Natasha's Helsinki trip just goes to show what you can do when you're putting yourself out there and really getting stuck in to what you're passionate about and we're really celebrating her today.“

Adventure Queens Grant
I applied in October 2022 and I was over the moon in February 2023 to be told that out of almost 200 applications the judges chose me to be one of 2022/23 AQ grant winners!
This summer I completed a solo adventure paddle around the Finnish islands around the Helsinki archipelago of remote natural islands!

Successful Collaborations
#MakingWaves Project with The Outdoor Studio
The Outdoor Studio was searching for women to be involved in her #MakingWaves project and I loved taking part.
WUKA
As a person who loves adventuring, I find periods such a pain! Especially when I do a lot of watersports and camping. I love the period swimwear and the pants. If you want to go about your life as usual without worrying about using tampons, pads and menstrual cups, you can with reusable period pants.

Save the Deben
I am pleased to be involved with the hugely important 'Save The Deben' campaign to raise public awareness of the plight of sewage in the River Deben.
I have campaigned, raised awareness by speaking to the press and on the radio, supported investigation into issues (raw sewage, farm land run off, pollution from roads etc) and the application for designated bathing water status application for Waldringfield/Woodbridge/Wilford Bridge.

Community
I love helping out in my local community. I organise events for the PTA at my son's school, I run local social groups for swimming and paddling, and I help out with village events too. The most recent being King Charles III's Coronation Celebration in May 2023. I also helped marshall the Woodbridge 10k Round-The-Town race recently. I love to give back, meet different people and bring people together.
