JUBILEE SAILING TRUST CHARITY RAISES £675K


The Jubilee Sailing Trust has raised £675K as part of its Covid Recovery Campaign. The target is to reach £1.2m by the end of September.


The funds are required to pay the daily operational costs to allow the Trust’s tall ship Tenacious (pictured) to continue sailing and delivering its mission, giving people of mixed abilities and circumstances the freedom to explore their ability and potential at sea.


The Trust issued a warning earlier in 2022 stating that it was close to closure due to the financial effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. A series of fundraising targets were set, the first of which - £500K – was met in May.


RECENT RESEARCH SHOWS WATERSPORTS PARTICIPATION IS ON THE RISE IN THE UK


According to the annual Watersports Participation Survey 2021, there has been significant growth in the number of people participating in watersports during the pandemic. The survey shows that some 12.7m UK adults tried a boating activity in 2021, with approximately 11.8m people taking part in one or more boating activities once or twice in 2021, remarkably almost double from the previous year.


RYA Director of Sport Development, Rob Clark, said, “During 2021, more than ever, leisure time was being spent outdoors and with the severe restrictions on international travel, lots of people headed to the coast to make the most of the good weather.


“Although the report tells us that the number of regular participants has remained almost static, we’ve seen boating organisations, marinas and retailers remaining busy during the pandemic as they accommodate newcomers to the sport.”
