Foyle Sailability has been honoured with the King’s Award for Voluntary Service, recognising the outstanding contribution of its volunteers and the impact of its work across the local community.
This prestigious award highlights the dedication, passion and commitment of those who give their time to make sailing accessible for people of all abilities. Through their efforts, Foyle Sailability continues to create opportunities for individuals to experience the freedom and enjoyment of being on the water.
The occasion was marked in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant of Derry/Londonderry, underlining the significance of the award not only for the organisation but for the wider community it supports.
Foyle Sailability brings together sailors, volunteers, supporters and families, all playing a role in building an inclusive and welcoming environment. This recognition reflects the collective effort of everyone involved and the positive difference the programme continues to make.
As the organisation looks ahead, its focus remains on growing participation and ensuring that more people can access sailing, regardless of ability, while continuing to create meaningful and memorable experiences on the water.
