Where your money goes

Due to the exponential growth of Lap The Lough, The Upbeat Agency, a not-for-profit Social Enterprise has been formed to manage and develop this and other events. The same people are involved. After running costs, profits will be used to develop events with a similar ethos and help smaller community groups and charities.

We're keen that the event remains a fundraiser for the 100s of charities that have benefited in the past. If you're raising money for your charity let us know, we'll place a link to your fundraising site and list the charity's logo on the right - no cost.

We encourage everyone to use the event to raise money for your own charity. If you're going round Lough Neagh then you may as well make some money for a charity for all your efforts.
