Our Patrons

OYT Scotland are extremely grateful for the very generous support they receive from Curly and Barbara Mills

Even just a week afloat can transform young lives by revealing how each can play a significant part in a team which has to overcome difficulties to reach their objective. Having enjoyed many years of sailing themselves and been successful in helping to create leading edge businesses, Curly and Barbara feel privileged to be part of the OYT Scotland team which has become a world leader in the field of sail training.

“This year, Ocean Youth Trust Scotland has once again helped to improve the quality of life of many hundreds of young people.  Life at sea requires teamwork and self reliance, decision making and judgement and as a result, people ashore are helped too.  Indeed, sometimes parents and teachers can hardly recognise the young adults who step off the boat as being the same children who stepped aboard only a few days before. We are delighted to be a part of that. Congratulations and well done everyone!”
