The nomination
This award recognises local communities working together, promoting positive neighbourhood improvement projects and communities which make the best use of green space, including their work with Starboard in the City. Some of the things the Liverpool SUP CO team has already done so far include; litter picks on the water, working with local groups in local parks and CRT on the water and the beach, as well as a marine conservation workshop.

Starboard in the City
This programme brings together schools, local beaches, park clean-up groups, along with local councils. Starboard in the City is bringing together the community to learn from workshops and litter picks, all to clean up our planet. Most of the clean-ups hosted by Liverpool SUP Club are on paddleboards, making the experience even more enjoyable for the local community.
