Meet the crew

Here at Tall Ships Youth Trust we’re all one crew.

Whether our people are based onshore at our Portsmouth hub, offshore, or are trustees or volunteers, we’re all sailing the charity together to change young lives at sea.

Below, you can meet some of our key people who are making sure we’re all heading in the same direction — constantly learning, innovating and challenging ourselves, to achieve the best positive outcomes for young people.
