Discover your River Thames is backed by Olympic Gold Medallist Rower Mark Hunter and Olympic Gold Medallist Canoeist Tim Brabants.

"Discover your River Thames is a real and unique opportunity for families to spend time together on the river and to see what's out there and what's available. The passport is one of the best things about it. Kids love to collect stickers, it gets them involved and encourages parents to try new things with them.

"The River Thames is one of the great things about this part of the UK; kids love to be on water, on a boat, watching wildlife go by. I first took to the Thames when I was 11, and I hope what has happened to me on the river rubs off on other people and that they can enjoy it as much as I have" says Mark Hunter, MBE.
