Daisy Best is paddleboarding every canal in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland to inspire more people onto the water and raise vital funds for Teesside Mind.

Paddleboarding Every UK Canal

Daisy’s Canal Quest

When she finishes her mission, Daisy is likely to be the first person to paddleboard every canal in the UK. She’ll keep raising money for Mind and hopes to inspire other paddlers to get out on our amazing canal network. These historic waterways offer ever-changing scenery, rich wildlife and a great way to connect with both local people and visiting communities.

Daisy has been paddleboarding since 2021. She lives in North Yorkshire, runs her own psychology practice, and she’s deeply passionate about mental health. As a committed supporter of Teesside Mind, Daisy combines her love of the water with raising awareness for mental wellbeing. Her fascination with canals truly took off in 2023, when she paddled 162 miles from Liverpool to Goole – a Coast to Coast journey across England.
