In 2000 the British Canoe Union (BCU) federalised to become the umbrella organisation for the Home Nation Associations in Scotland (Scottish Canoe Association - SCA), Wales (Canoe Wales) and Northern Ireland (Canoe Association of Northern Ireland - CANI).
In England, Canoe England was set up similarly to the other National Associations, as a division of the BCU, to support the development of canoeing specifically in England.
In 2014 the British Canoe Union was renamed as British Canoeing.[citation needed]
In 2024 British Canoeing rebranded as Paddle UK.[1]
