Children's Sailing Trust - Sailing for All

Children’s Sailing Trust (CST) was established in 1997 to provide sailing and water sports lessons to young learners, whatever their financial background or physical or learning abilities. 

Without Children’s Sailing Trust, many local children would not be able to access this transformational activity, despite living close to the sea.  

Children also gain a greater understanding of the marine environment and outdoor elements after learning to sail which benefits them in a number of ways, from life skills to qualifications; routes to employment in the marine sector, and academic study.

Duchy Health Charity awarded a grant of over £11,000 to fund CST’s 2024 ‘Sailing for All’ programme.
