About us
We take young people
aged 12-25 on residential youth sailing voyages on board iconic yachts. Out on
the water, under sail, they learn lessons that set them up for life and help
them realise their own potential.
To support our
mission, we also run a programme of adventurous voyages for adults that
directly subsidise our highly effective Youth Development Programme.
Our youth sailing
voyages are truly life-changing experiences. They encourage teamwork and
participation in an occasionally tough, but safe, environment: through storms,
wet weather and living in very close quarters. We equip them with what they
need to get the best out of themselves - confidence, social skills and
leadership, all on board one of our six vessels.
Our young people come
from all over the UK and from all backgrounds. The vast majority of them are
either disadvantaged or disabled. We have worked with many youth groups over
the years. These include Scouts, Girl guides, Schools, The Rank Foundation,
Special Needs Schools, Youth Offending Teams, Young Carers, Police and The
Prince's Trust.
We need your support
to grow and reach out to more young people than ever before. Please help them
today by donating your time or money to help transform their lives. If you
would like to get involved with the Trust as a supporter, donor, partner or
volunteer please contact us: info@tallships.org.
