We’ve once again teamed up with Cash for Kids to enable even more young people from across the south to experience one of our life-changing voyages.

The Cash for Kids Sports Challenge aims to encourage young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to get involved in sport.

According to the NHS and Mind, being active is one of the best ways you can improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Our voyages provide the perfect opportunity for young people to get outdoors and be physically active.

Onboard our vessels, young people get involved in all aspects of sailing, such as:

• Operating winches
• Hoisting and trimming sails
• Hauling ropes
• Climbing the mast

After completing these physical tasks onboard, young people feel a huge sense of achievement, which empowers them to overcome any barriers they face and to thrive.

We’ll receive 100% of the funds we raise from our sports challenge, plus, we could receive up to an extra £5,000 on top of what we raise.

This is where we need your help! Prizes will be awarded to the top three fundraisers.

There are many different ways you can support our campaign. You could take on your own sporting challenge, host a bake sale or perhaps take part in a sponsored silence. Whatever you decide will make a huge difference to the young people you’ll be helping.

This year’s challenge will end at midday on Monday 16 October, any donations made after this deadline will not be included in our final total. Please spread the word and support our campaign if you can. Thank you.
