The Castleford Community Paddlesports Club has been formed from activities, canoeing and kayaking in partnership with the Desmond Family Canoe Trail, which is a project of the Canal and River Trust. Members and officers of the club have been volunteering and participating in paddlesports and social action. In September 2019 it started a locally led club aiming to provide accessible paddlesport activities to individuals and groups on the Aire and Calder Navigation at Castleford lock, River Aire and River Calder. Constitution took place with appointed volunteer officers who have adopted the policies and procedures of British Canoeing; several have completed Foundation Rescue and Safety Training and first level Paddlesport Instructor accreditation. The club is working towards affiliation with British Canoeing. The motto of the club, taken from one of the young people benefitting from paddle sessions in the summer, is 'Canoeing and Nature Open to Everyone'.
