How you can help

Our costs are partly covered by berth fees but to make these fees as affordable as possible and to offer additional support to young people, we rely on charitable donations, grants and sponsorship.

If you think you can help financially or in-kind, please contact our  Fundraising Officer on 01475 883 141 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

• Create brand awareness.
• Associate your brand with a world leading youth work charity.
• Invest in the community.
• Staff involvement.
• Business networking.
• Enjoy corporate hospitality for clients or staff.
