A paramedic said paddleboarding saved his life after the stress of the pandemic and the suicide of a colleague.

Joe Cartwright, from Bedfordshire, took up the activity after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.

He plans to cross the English Channel on his board to raise money for a suicide prevention charity.

He said: "Paddleboarding has brought me back, it's got Joe back, it's got the husband back... and, more importantly, I'm really happy."
