The Island Trust provides sailing opportunities for disadvantaged young people
The Island Trust is a charity that provides sailing opportunities for disadvantaged young people. We send 600 young people sailing annually, either dinghy sailing courses or off shore sailing cruises. Please help support the Trust in the valuable work that it does for the young disadvantaged. The three links above will provide the information you need to offer money, apply to send your group on a course or expedition and see our sailing schedule.
We help groups typically, although not exclusively:
  • The visually and aurally impaired
  • Young people with learning difficulties
  • Those with special needs
  • Those with behavioural difficulties
  • Offenders or those at risk of offending
  • Youngsters on a variety of rehabilitation programmes
  • Young people from inner cities or other deprived areas
