RYA Foundation
For a world where boating is accessible to everyone regardless of circumstance
About Us
We want boating to be attainable for all, and work to enhance the prospects for disadvantaged individuals. Water sports give people of all abilities the chance to get active, be part of a crew and experience the skill and exhilaration of taming the wind and waves.
The Foundation gives out grants and supports projects that enable organisations to have the facilities and training they need to open their doors to more people from a broader range of backgrounds.
Their activities, largely volunteer-led, help to:
- offer regular access to different water sports
- provide trained instructors to develop individual skills and team co-operation
- ensure equipment is fit for purpose for people of mixed abilities
- reduce social isolation
- have more members enjoying activities on the water
